Michael, Given that the PPD for Acrobat 3 is for a 2017 printer, the PPD hack isn't going to help. The problem is with the driver's interpretation of PPDs with a PostScript version < 2015. (That is why I made a guess about your use of the LaserJet 4 printer instance.) If for some reason, you are using a very ancient PPD for Acrobat 3 PostScript generation (such as the PPD for Acrobat 2 or 2.1), then the PPD hacking would help. Keep me in the loop as to what you find, please. - Dov At 12/3/2000 10:40 PM, Michael Cudmore wrote: >Dov Isaacs wrote: >> This has been discussed quite a few times ad nauseum on these >> lists.
