Why can't you print from Publisher? Are you getting an error message? Have
you updated your printer drivers? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] jp wrote in message ... Hi we have a newsletter and the printer we use does not print from publisher.. only adobe..

OHHHHHHHHHHH -
Well, IIRC print shops are eligible for free copies of Publisher. I know someone else here can fill you in on those details. Until then, you could buy Adobe Acrobat for about $250 or there are several low-cost/free programs available that will convert your files to a .pdf. I've been recommending PrimoPDF to the others in my group. I'm biased and prefer Acrobat but I also edit .pdf files at times. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] jp wrote in message ...

They should pay you money to use such sub-standard software.
I cannot understand you people that use garbage software like that. The full version of Adobe Acrobat is so cheap everybody should own it. Oh dear, another Blitisher I see - no wonder. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

I wish Acrobat *were* that cheap. $250 is a lot of money these days.

JoAnn,
It isn't "cheap" but it is worth it to people who need it. :-) One reason I like it, I can use Quark to print a file without have to spend $900 for the program (no way can I justify buying it to print the one file a year I seem to get). The Free, and Legal, Quark Demo places a huge "watermark" Quark Demo Express Demo on each page when printed. With Acrobat, it's a piece of cake to get rid of. Another advantage, a printer can send you the exact setting he/she wants you use to create a pdf (a joboptions file) and you can use that to create pdf files that your printer will love. It also allows you to use plug-ins, such as Quite a Box of Tricks to convert RGB files to CMYK quickly and efficiently. If all one wants to do is create pdf files to e-mail to a friend or post on the Internet, the other alternatives are adequate and Acrobat overkill. But if one does much commercial printing or accepts outside files for placement in newspapers or magazines, or even newsletters, it is a necessity.

JoAnn $250 is about a day and halfs wages these days. People waste more
money on buying lunch and drinks a week than that. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

I have Acrobat thanks to the organization I belong to but if not for them,
I'd be using a low cost alternative. With the economy around here, $250 is more than a day and half's wages. I used to make decent wages but that job is now history. As is the one that replaced it. And now - I'd have to work damned near a 40 hour week to earn that money (before taxes). It sucks but it's a job (part-time) and it keeps me busy few a few hours each week. Yes, people do waste a lot of money on lunches, drinks, cigarettes, and other vices. I will admit that I could cut back on my spending a bit. Fortunately I don't smoke and I only have maybe four or five drinks a year. I had my first Cosmopolitan the other week. Woo-whee! I hit my quaterly alcohol quota in that one drink! -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "°°°MS°Publisher°°°" wrote in message ... JoAnn $250 is about a day and halfs wages these days.
