Adobe Acrobat Distiller 6

[cabbage]

With Acrobat 6, the PDF 1.5 spec now includes PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3. Anyone know if this replaces the funcionality of the Apago PDF/X-1 CheckUp plug-in?

It does not

What's new in Distiller 6, BTW ?
I can't see what's better from one version to another. I'm with 5 but I could have stick to 4. Unless you're interested in Web features, v4 is enough.

Is this actually OSX native? According to Adobe's website Distiller is still OS9, but the page might be out of date.

Toast, so far as I can remember is Distiller v4 faster than v5?

Oh, that's it, Distill6 must be OSX native. I'm so used to Classic I wasn't thinking about it

Distiller 4 is just the same on speed as v5. It cannot print to PDF v1.4, that's all. That's my point: until you're in the Web industry, any Distiller over v4 is a waste.

toast, you confuse me.

First you answer it does not which kind of implies that you have used Distiller 6. Then you ask what is new. If you used it once you would have noticed what is new.....like for instance it's OSX native and that there is a new PDF/X tab in the options.

First you ... Then you ...

Reading Adobe Forums is a way to get news about products you do not know. Reading Computer Arts, or their newsletter, is another. Finally, the DTP Forum mentioned in my signature brings me some info about software I do not know.

I'm a Quark 4 Distiller 5 Photoshop 7 Illustrator 10 person, and that won't change for the next years. But I also learn about InDesign, new Acrobat stuff, and more, outside from my own computer use.

Hi toast, as a regular user of it, is there some display problem with www.desktoppublishing.com/boards? In both Safari and Explorer it shows up and plays nicely for two or three post displays then stops. Do you get that, or is it better in another browser?
