How do I preflight the document and where is the latest pdftex? (Is it not in the latest ConTeXt?)

Get the last TeX Live (http://www.tug.org/tex-live/); the ConTeXt in it is quite recent. Best Martin

Hans— The problem appears to be the Bonum font from the TeX Gyre distribution. If I change the font to GFSDidot, all is well. Too bad—Bonum is a good font, I think, for papers that are to be presented by reading. Alan On Mar 6, 2007, at 10:30 AM, Alan Bowen wrote:

I have a 24 page PDF file produced using ConTeXt ver: 2007.02.21 11:55 MKII and the latest TeXShop. I can only print pp. 1-3 of this file with TeXShop. Acrobat Pro, however, has no trouble printing the entire file (mercifully�this paper is for a conference for which I leave tomorrow) and TeXShop has no problem with my other files, some of which are quite long.

So I do I figure out what the problem is? It seems to be with the file, but I have no idea what. The encoding is hardly weird or unusual.

Though I can print the thing, the problem is still somewhat pressing. I sent the file to two people who usually have no difficulty with my PDFs. But this time one could not open the file�it was reported as damaged.

hm, can you preflight the document?

also, take the latest pdftex since there has been font bugs recently

Hans—

I am not sure what you mean but I am now against the wall. I continued to edit the document and now the PDF is not printable (past page 3) at all—Acrobat Pro 8, TeXShop, PDFView are all stymied.

pdftex is in the tex live repos concerning the pdf ... can you send me the pdf? Hans

Aditya— I am using character protrusion. So far as printing goes, TexShop still prints long files with protrusion turned on and still fails with the question file when I turn it off. But, as for not being able to open the file, I will check to see what the recipient is using to read it. That is a good tip. Many thanks. Alan On Mar 6, 2007, at 11:29 AM, Aditya Mahajan wrote:

Do you by any chance use character protrusion. I had trouble with character protrusion with pdf-1.4. It works correctly on my computer (WinXP+Acrobat 7.0) but, I could not open the file on Solaris+Acroread 5.0. Acroread 7.0 opened the file correctly on Solaris, so I assumed that acroread 5.0 does not support the new method of character protrusion of pdftex.

I sent the file to someone on a Mac. If they double clicked on the file, acrobat 7 reported the file was damaged. If they opened the file from File->Open menu, it opened correctly. Since it was not my computer, and the file was opening correctly, I assumed it was a problem with the configuration on the Mac. (As you can see, I am very confident that pdftex is doing the right thing :). Disable character protrusion got rid of the problem with acroread 5.0 and Mac, so I did not worry about it more (there were other things to worry about, like the content of the pdf)
