I created a short document http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf using Context and with a clickable TOC and one thumbnail. The thumbnail was created with the Han The Thanh pdftex macro code I mentioned recently. Some users view it fine, others with earlier versions of Acrobat Reader have problems. A friend ftom the InDesign/Distiller world suggests that I recreate the pdf with the compatibility option turned on. Does this suggestion have any meaning in the Context/pdftex world?

Can interested readers read the above url OK? -- John Culleton

Hi John,

the output looks fine to me, I see your document on Acrobat 8.1 at a Windows machine and have no problems.

Your friend could mean to reduce the PDF version of your document, you could use PDFTeX's \pdfminorversion for this purpose.

indeed if one has a full acrobat one can convert it hwile preflighting the document is ok for acrobat >= 6; for acrobat 4/5 transparency flattening and/or layer info is to be discarded; ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
