Re: Adobe PS driver question

["Dov Isaacs" <isaacs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

The "latest" AdobePS driver is 5.1.2. What in the world are you
running?

The only real differences between AdobePS 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 were
(1) a fix to allow proper printing from FrameMaker 5.5.6 under
Windows NT 4 AND a fix for processing parameters from certain
PPD files. Neither of those changes would affect file size.

Assuming that you are running either 5.1.1 or 5.1.2 with FrameMaker 6,
the real issues are (1) what "PPD on CD"? (you should be using the
PPD for the Distiller if you are creating PDF files), (2) what
resolution is the printer instance set at? (makes a tremendous
difference in terms of image size), and (3) what settings are
you using in terms of binary versus ASCII versus TBCP, etc? (for
Distiller, use "binary" with NO CTRL-D before or after the jobs).
