Pagemaker - PC to Mac
Our yearly "problem job" involves a huge Pakemaker file (200+ pages
catalog), one color, loaded with scanned images and item description
type in tables, created on a pc. When given to me and my Macs, the
embedded scanned images are gone, as well as most of the copy, some of
it replaced with mis-scaled type. My experience lies mainly in Quark,
I treat Pagemaker like a red-headed stepchild, so it's hard to tell
the client what to do differently so I can open up their file and send
it through my RIP.
What I'm looking for are options for saving the file (cross-platform
option?), embedding images, or for ASCII/binary text. And, any other
user's experience or advice would be helpful.
Thanks

correctly. This should be the name of a driver common to both PCs, and
should NEVER be changed. Some people make the mistake of changing this
to match their output device.
This "compose to driver" is used to do the text calculations. The same
driver should produce the same results.
A problem can arise where the driver is different, mainly in going
from the Windows 9x family to the Windows NT/2000/XP family.

problems even taking a file from one PC to another if different
printer drivers have been used.

Or save the job to .eps files
(including all the images and fonts in the Postscript stream)
then put those into Quark -
if that is what you are familiar with.
Then send that to the RIP.

seems by now you'd invest the small capital investment of getting a pc
and a copy of pagemaker to handle the job.
Doesn't this seem like the logical solution?

exchange PageMaker documents with Central European (Latin-2) or
Cyrillic characters between Macintosh and Windows.

If they have v6.5+ or v7 they can export PDF.
Either that or they can write to a PostScript file.
If you have the same version of Pagemaker it should open the file without
any problems, I've done it many times, so I'm not sure why you'd be running
into trouble like that.
