I am trying to convert some Publisher files to Adobe Acrobat .pdf for use by a new print shop. Adobe Distiller seems to be converting the files properly, at least the size seems correct after being "distilled" but I can't open them. Any ideas?

 

I'm also trying to quickly reinstall my Corel Draw 11.0. I'm thinking I could convert to Corel then to Acrobat? I'm running out of ideas.

Get a mac.

That wouldn't help in this case. THe print shop will not take any flavor of Corel or Publisher. Basically they want Quark or Illustrator. THey will also work with a PDF.

That's why I said get a mac. In OS X anything you can print you can also drive to a pdf file without any third party softwware needed. Depending on your version of Publosher and Windows OS you might have the same capacity though. Havve you liiked for a 'make pdf' option in your print dialog window. I'd go check it out on my wife's cheap iron (WinXP PC), but the kids are in the middle of a heavy game of Candy Land on the machine and I know better than to try and kick them off.

 

Actually, if you have a full-blown Acrobat Exchange (not just the free Reader), it should have come with PDF Writer, that should let you print files to pdf's from other applications. It's suprising your print shop won't also work with EPS files, so as to get around a lot of size/resolution print issues.

 

Then get a mac.
