<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=849025108-08112004><FONT size=2>We had
similar problems with embedded fonts in the PDF. Whenever (in Acrobat) the

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=849025108-08112004><FONT size=2>It appears
that printer drivers can make a difference. Some HP drivers (but not all --
this may be the case with other brands as well) invariably produce the
"offending command" message with this kind of embedding.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

into the problem anymore.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=849025108-08112004><FONT size=2>Have a look

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=657315310-28102004>Hello</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<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>

for any advice on what I am doing incorrectly.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
