PostScript & Acrobat/PDF

The book covers the whole range of PostScript and PDF (Adobe Acrobat) application fields. It explains how several components work together and shows how to solve problems that may arise in practice, without getting involved in PostScript programming. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM containing useful software tools for problem solving. Neither the book nor the tools are limited to a particular platform or operating system - a major aim of the work is to assist in solving cross-platform problems using MS-DOS, Windows (3.x and 95), Macintosh and Unix. The book will be useful for all technically inclined users of PostScript and Acrobat/PDF, from PC users with laser printers and graphic artists with Macs to system administrators and online publishers.
