Hello -

we currently updated our adobe7 to adobe 8 professional, and we have a distiller that we put in a "watch folder" where it would PDF"s all our tables ... after the updated to 8.0 the post script no longer works... can someone explain to me what we need to change or do to get this to work again...

attached the scrip below... I appreciate any input

%!
% PostScript program for distilling and combining multiple PostScript files.
% When embedding font subsets, it is highly recommended you use this technique
% to distill multiple PS files so only one font subset is used for each font.

/prun { /mysave save def % Performs a save before running the PS file
        dup = flush % Shows name of PS file being run
        RunFile % Calls built in Distiller procedure
        clear cleardictstack % Cleans up after PS file
        mysave restore % Restores save level
} def

Helge,

I have Acrobat-Distiller 9 Pro on Mac Leopard.

1) If I use Distiller directly, it will show "pstack flush" messages as well as error messages
in its own window.

2) If I use Distiller via Acrobat and there are no problems, I can't see "pstack flush" messages at all.

3) If I use Distiller via Acrobat and there is a problem, I get error messages AND
"pstack flush" messages in a TextEdit window.
Its header tells me about a log file but I can't find the logfile.

Perhaps I am too new to Acrobat 9, and need some experimenting with its setup.

Miklos
