In our DTP department in Melbourne, the three of us were upgraded to PageMaker 7.0.2. Since we have had this program we have had problems make PDF's and postscript files from PageMaker.
When we print to file to make the .ps, a message comes up saying it cannot embed the following fonts then it lists the font. The when we send the file to the distiller it PDF's fine without any error messages about embedding fonts, however the files will change the symbols (ie. ' - è ,) to something totally different or removing spaces and changing letters. The changes are so subtle that our jobs have been sent to the printers and the customer has complained and we have had to redo them at the cost to the company.
We are using the same files we did for PageMaker 6.5 and 7.0.1 and we did not have this problem before getting 7.0.2. I have tried to contact adobe about this problem and look it up on the internet but haven't yet found any answers.
As this is the very last version of PageMaker to ever be made again, it's not these problems will be fixed in the next version. From here on Adobe is moving all PageMaker users to InDesign (All pagemaker files can open in indesign).
The other problem is, because we have saved all our files as PageMaker 7.0 files we cannot go back to using 6.5 because they will not open. Only PageMaker 7.0.1 and Indesign will open the files now. As a department we do not mind moving to Indesign but this would affect the other DTP departments around Australia
Can you please advise me on where or what our department should do from here or if there is a way of fixing the problem as PDFing files is something we all do about 10 times a day.
