BobLevine May 4, 2012 9:43 AM (in response to pcressman)Try the press quality setting. It should work.
And suggesting that they upgrade is certainly option you should present them with. If they don’t want to, that’s another issue all together.
ID 2.0 is more than 10 years old.

Daniel Flavin May 4, 2012 10:39 AM (in response to pcressman)We tend to look for answers, but without knowing what Adobe changed over the years, there's little chance of a fix for some issues.
My post from yesterday - a simple pdf from Illy doesn't render correctly in CS2.

Steve Werner May 4, 2012 10:42 AM (in response to Daniel Flavin)I think there is an underlying message in both issues: You can't fall too far behind in technology, or the pain will increase incrementally over time. You can't expect that the ongoing technology will be backward compatible forever.

Daniel Flavin May 4, 2012 10:59 AM (in response to Steve Werner)That cannot be argued Steve - but I think the OP and I expect some stability in an Adobe created pdf going into another Adobe program.
There's no edits attempted, merely proper rendering of what is now considered the defacto file format for reliable exchange.
I have installed, along with Soxy, versions 4, 5, 6 & 7.5 to best manage my very small environment.

Steve Werner May 4, 2012 11:01 AM (in response to Daniel Flavin)If you're back in OS 9, you have no tech support. Almost no one else is still running the operating system. It could be the PDF, it could be the OS, it could be an InDesign 2 bug. There's no way to tell.

BobLevine May 4, 2012 11:13 AM (in response to Daniel Flavin)I agree to a point…but InDesign 2.0 is, as I already pointed out 10 years old.
Would you express the same feelings about placing that PDF into Pagemaker?

Steve Werner May 4, 2012 11:17 AM (in response to BobLevine)If I had a client who was still using Pagemaker, I'd tell them that I could not help them. I cannot run Pagemaker on my system, and have no way of helping them diagnose a problem. There may be others who are equipped to help them, but happily I am not.
I don't think I'd like time travel. ;-)

BobLevine May 4, 2012 11:49 AM (in response to Steve Werner)That’s the difference between us, I guess. I have very little trouble calling a spade a spade.
But that’s my job as the resident curmudgeon.
