Frame 7.2, Distiller 8.1, and Publi PDF

[Jacob Schäffer]

We have just uploaded version 1.5 revision 282 to http://www.grafikhuset.net/publipdf/download.htm. This version should support all Adobe Distiller versions since 5.05 -- incl. version 8.1 (and hopefully also future Distiller revisions).

All the best

< Until upgrading to Acrobat 8.0 this morning, I have been successfully using Grafikhuset Publi PDF-a PDF creator that enables me to create color-corrected, web-ready and press-ready PDFs in a very automated way. Now I can't. It seems that Distiller 8.1 does not allow execution of external files anymore. So what do I do? Uninstall Acrobat 8.1 and reinstall Acrobat 8.0? Do I have no other recourse but to upgrade to Frame 8.0? Is there a workaround or a patch that I can enable if I'm not yet ready to upgrade to Frame 8.0? >

	I can confirm that Grafikhuset Publi PDF queues currently cannot function with Adobe Distiller 8.1 (for the very same reason -- the new Distiller default setting), but is working hard on a fix to this problem. Users should downgrade Acrobat or use GPL Ghostscript 8.60 as JobInterpreter in the interim.

	The new Grafikhuset Publi PDF revision is expected to be ready late in August 2007, i.e. within a week or so.
