The last 2 weeks have been difficult for many people. My heart goes out to those who are directly touched by these events. Sadly, this has not reached an end.
Today I am off to San Francisco Seybold. Somehow, I do not think that it is going to be ultra busy.
Expect some juicy announcements from all at the show … more during the week
1980s Music
For those who remember the Australian Photoshop 6.0 Seminar (Oct/Nov 2000) — my theme was “Music of the 1980s”. Just stumbled across a great web site. Time to swat up ready for the next roadshow, people!
Quark, Trapping, Prepress
After prompting from a customer, I had to do some more research into Overprinting, Trapping, Quark and Acrobat 5.0. The results are now published here.
Funnily enough, InDesign makes this a whole lot easier. Composite Postscript output contains trapping and overprint, which is retained in the PDF.
Another resource for Prepress Professionals is Prepress Panic.
PDF Workflow
A very good article originally published in the Seybold Report on Publishing Systems about PDF Workflow: The Do It Yourself Approach by Bernd Zipper is on PlanetPDF.
In light of people using Weblogs to detail their daily lives : “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15Mb”
SVG
For those interested in SVG Zone, here is something cool I was told about last week. Its an SVG printer driver. Print to SVG!
PacPrint 2001
Off to PacPrint 2001! 30,000 people and 5 days in sunny Melbourne. If you visit, please come to the Adobe stand and say hi! On another note, I have just posted the latest in my Premiere 6.0 articles. Time to move onto Acrobat 5.0 tips.
PDF Forms and Javascript
As promised, the quick overview of how to use PDF Forms and Javascript.
Color Management
More Colour Management reference information and comment from Seybold.
PHP, Perl and Java
A very good article comparing PHP, Perl and Java for Web server-side scripting.
Adobe PDF for Print
Sorry about that. The Green Book was not transfered correctly to my server. All fixed. Green Book is there
