PostScript and Acrobat/PDF: Applications, Troubleshooting, and Cross-Platform-Publishing [Hardcover]

Thomas Merz (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540608540 | ISBN-13: 978-3540608547 | Publication Date: November 8, 1996 | Edition: 1

The book covers the whole range of PostScript and PDF (Adobe Acrobat) application fields. It explains how several components work together and shows how to solve problems that may arise in practice, without getting involved in PostScript programming. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing useful software tools for problem solving. Neither the book nor the tools are limited to a particular platform or operating system - a major aim of the work is to assist in solving cross-platform problems using MS-DOS, Windows (3.x and 95), Macintosh and Unix. The book will be useful for all technically inclined users of PostScript and Acrobat/PDF, from PC users with laser printers and graphic artists with Macs to system administrators and online publishers.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tutorial for prepress support people, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: PostScript and Acrobat/PDF: Applications, Troubleshooting, and Cross-Platform-Publishing (Hardcover)

I work for a major supplier of prepress hard- and software. It is often difficult to find accurate extensive backgroud information on essential technologies like PostScript or PDF and this book fills this void perfectly. It is a goldmine if you want to look beyond the simple "select this, click that" type of manuals and take an detailed look at the way PostScript, drivers, printercommunication,... work.
