JACoWJACoW JACoWJACoW Living with Acrobat 6

All PDF1.5 files which were generated in EPAC04 processing were re-processed We still had 55 of these even though the distiller was set

to PDF1.2 compatibility On a PC, using Acrobat 5

Print to distiller, with JACoW.joboptions (batch job) Use PitStop to resize the paper (by hand) Upload files (by hand) Double check for problems (print, screen etc.)

Sometimes it was necessary to go to PDF1.4 to get a reasonable file

JACoWJACoW JACoWJACoW Using the Optimiser

The previous file from a talk was 14.4Mb and the optimiser compressed it to 3.3Mb and saved it as PDF1.4

The paper which was 10.5Mb was compressed to 250kb

... and you can save to PDF1.3 or later.

JACoWJACoW JACoWJACoW EPAC Experience

I had to recover talks from the computers used in the sessions – people did not upload the versions which were used.

The files were probably not handled in an optimum way on the EPAC file server. We asked for ProgID-talk as file names and they were

flagged as talks in SPMS and saved on the file server in the same place as the papers.

This filename is not ISO9660 compatible – too long Our solution for publication was to use the same name as

the paper but stored them in a different directory

JACoWJACoW JACoWJACoW Fonts

Windows XP does not come with any Type1 fonts. It uses only TrueType fonts TimesNewRoman is TimesNewRomanPSMT under XP When you distill with ‘Embed All Fonts’ as is our

default, the fonts are sub-setted. I think that this is a copyright issue

PitStop editing capabilities are now limited because many fonts are not available e.g. no TimesNewRoman or Times.

MAC papers cannot be edited with PitStop on a PC because you cannot select anything.

JACoWJACoW JACoWJACoW IEEE - My Point of View

Compression – our setting make more sense from a performance point of view. Higher density will improve quality on the screen but there are not many printers than can handle their densities.

Colour – cant see that this has any major impact Font embedding – our policy made sense before

Windows XP, but now I am not sure. Acrobat 6 – see previous slides !
