When I output PDFs for print I don't let acrobat do the conversion. I always select "No Color Conversion"
All my CMYK work is done beforehand and geared to the paper I'll be printing on. Acrobat always seems to mess it up.
- thanks - yep I tried no color conversion. All looks good in Acrobat though. I just presumed Preview would render it correctly so didn't bother opening Acrobatfadein11

- ^ do a "Command-i" with a PDF file selected in the finder, In the box that opens there is an option to "Open With:" Select Acrobat in the drop-down.Gnash
- ... then click "Change All..." just below that. Now ALL files that are PDFs will default with Acrobat instead of PreviewGnash

- that's a must :)monospaced
- Acrobat opens slowly on my machine though - why isn't there a light PDF viewer on Mac that works well. Like Reader does on Windows...fadein11
- Acrobat Pro I am talking about here. Had no idea there is an Adobe Reader for Mac. Not on either of my machines...fadein11
- It's free. You get it the same way you would on Windows. Just go download it :)monospaced
- I know there used to be but just presumed Apple replaced it with their own Preview.fadein11
- Lol - I do feel silly. I hate Preview in general. I am downloading it now lol. I am a web designer mainly so can I be excused? :)fadein11
- Apple can't "replace" Adobe software. Preview is a fast lean file viewer, though. Have you tried hitting space bar on a file in Finder to preview it? I do that.monospaced
- You won't find Reader to be that much faster than Acrobat Pro, unfortunately.monospaced
- I knwo they can't, wrong terminology - i.e. they discontinued it on Mac because Preview came with OSX.fadein11
