Re: Nisus 6 and Printers who use it

5. There are at least two advantages to converting Nisus to PDF. First, because many more printers can use PDF than Nisus, and second, one can embed fonts in PDF, ensuring that your document looks exactly as intended. Asking a printer to add your fonts to his system is a somewhat risky and uncertain...

Re: Nisus 6 and Printers who use it

3. I used a Powermac 6500 running system 8.6, Nisus 6 and Adobe Distiller 4. After producing the .ps (postscript file) I just dragged it onto Adobe Distiller, which I had previously tweaked to my specs. (see next section).

I would like to add a few notes for the benefit of others who need to convert classic Nisus files to PDF format, and embed their desired fonts so the PDF file will look exactly like the Nisus file.

Nisus 6 and Printers who use it

Hi. Does anybody know of some printers (people not machines) who can print directly from Nisus 6 without going through PDF? I have to use special fonts, and PDFWriter's embedded fonts are inadequate, and besides the graphics quality is very poor. Distiller is even worse - it just gives gibbersih whe...
