<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>I'm currently
generating PDFs using XEP 3.8 (Java). XEP has proved to be a great tool
for quickly creating PDFs, using the Tutorial and UserGuide documentation for
reference.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>However, I am aware
that I know very little about any performance tuning considerations, and also
about Postscript printing issues.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>The problem is that
various subscribers to our service (delivery of products owned under the service
is provided in a variety of formats including PDF) have reported problems with
using Postscript printers to print delivered PDF content.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>For example,
one error raised by a subscriber stated that our product "</SPAN><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004>crashes my HP LaserJet 4050N Postscript Printer (page
says ERROR: typecheck, OFFENDING COMMAND: filter) when printing from Acrobat
Professional 6.02." What adds to my confusion is that the PDF product
has previously been provided to subscribers via Acrobat Distiller generated
content, and the subscribers have stated that no problems occurred previously
with printing the Distiller generated PDFs.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>This problem may be
related to the fact that the XEP generated PDF has a size of 225KB but when I
choose to print to a Postscript file (choosing "Print to File" on the File ->
Print menu), the size rises to 11MB. PDFs of the same product type
generated via Distiller were of a size 275KB but only rose to 330KB when I chose
"Print to File". Also, the printing of new XEP generated product (where
printing works on my PC, as opposed to the client that has reported the problem)
is noticeable slower as a result.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=657315310-28102004>I'd be grateful for
any advice on what I am doing incorrectly.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
