[vox] From StarOffice to Kinkos: PS, PDF?
Desktop publishing problem. We have Red Hat 7.2 and StarOffice
6.0 beta at home (no KDE 3.0 update--yet), and an HP DeskJet 500 inkjet
printer. Thinking of going to OpenOffice.
Needing to laser-print some nice-looking documents (some pages in
color), my spouse saved her file in (gak!) Word95 format and took her
floppy to Kinko's.
Kinko's MS Word apparently didn't have the same fonts there. She
then spent 2+ hours at Kinko's reformatting what HAD been a perfect
StarOffice document--just so she could print the bloody thing. Oh, and
after the editing, the file was > 1.44Mb, so it would no longer fit on
a floppy. (thanks, MS >:-( .
*** I DON'T want to go this route! Postscript take me
away!!! ***
I just *know* there's a solution that involves saving as Postscript
and/or converting to PDF (ps2pdf?) , thereby only needing, say, Mac or
Win Adobe Acrobat at the Kinko's end, and only printing the file, not
editing it. I expect it would come out exactly the same as viewed at
home.
Anyone have DTP experience with Kinko's or any other publishing
vendor?
Do they accept ftp submissions for those larger orders?
