Are you printing via Distiller 5? Strange... That would make my life much simpler... > That's a product I will have to look at again someday. its not bad. and you can preview text in whatever font you are thinking of using... great for logos titles type thing.. Let me know about the pdf thing. thanks agian m ________________ Matthew Guemple Art Director/03 mo.og at verizon.net 646.734.6601 www.gridd.com http://www.creativehotlist.com/ index.asp?linkTarget=fullProfile.asp&indID=19599
