How complete is the native functionality? Does it support hyperlinks? Is there a ref manual?
MacOS X's "Quartz" PDF layer is a strange mix, it contains not even 1.2 completely... It doesn't support most of what you need in prepress -- that's why Distiller for MacOS X will certainly come (Acrobat itself is already carbonated). Widgets aren't supported as well. In detail: -- no Type 3 fonts (that is, most traditional TeX PDFs will not work) -- no transfer curves, screening settings, OPI support -- no trapping, no overprint settings -- no filling patterns, smooth shades, transparency -- no mask paths -- no output profile (output intent) possible (needed for PDF/X-3) -- no JBIG2 compression -- no hypertext functions (links, widgets...) (AFAIK this list is valid for 10.2, but don't know exactly about Quartz Extreme) Grüßlis vom Hraban! (Writing under Linux on a Mac G4...) -- http://www.fiee.net http://www.ramm.ch ---
