I don't have 9, but it doesn't seem logical for the result pdf to be different overnight...
Something else must be going on...  Acrobat? (but what?)
Or you changed something and forgot? Color library?

bummer.
Maybe retro-save to v8 is worth thinking about... unless there's some new functionality in 9 that would burn you

I also forgot to mention that I have to distill the .eps files to .pdf, and RIP the pdf and let Rampage convert the color. It's the only way that works to get the right color. I reRIPped the FW XT .eps from last time, and they are the correct color, but the FW .eps from 6.5 this time rip with the wrong color, despite being generated from the same file on the same machine. Converting the file with PSP in .pdf to CMYK doesn't work either - it has to convert in Rampage to match. Makes no fucking sense.

Did you try to print to .ps then distill? It's so lame it just may work.

No. Once I found a way that accomplished what was needed, I was done.

But oh joy! I got another q 9 job in my queue.

It's like word got out that we stupidly bought the q 9 and now all the retards put on their robe and slippers and left the asylum, disk in hand. Yes, the most recent job came in on CDR... not DVD - CD. There may even be drool on it.

I think the q started a list. If you bought it, they will find you. It knows what scares you.

No. You are the only one. :tongue:
It makes .eps and .pdf from the q that actually "work"

[edit] if anyone interested, it's available here: http://www.jolauterbach.com/products/fontwizard.htm

It's $69 for new users (uh, huh huh... sixty nine), $49 for an upgrade from an older version. Just had to upgrade today.

I've been busy and didn't see this until now. We used this at the last shop but never ever ever was I able to output anything from Quack with working transparency. I ALWAYS had to fuck with it in Rampage. Did they fix that yet?
