That might work... but it opens up a whole other set of problems.
Acrobat 6 goes nuts with custom page sizes... something I must have to
print to roll paper on an Epson 9600. I just recently went round and
round with this trying to "print" a slide show from FileMaker to PDF
via Acrobat 6. I've done this same project for years with earlier
versions of the software and it works like a charm. Not any more.
Acrobat 6 can't handle a custom landscape formatted page. I had to
load System 9 and the only other copy of Acrobat I had... v4.0 to get
the job to output correctly. My initial attempt with iView Media Pro
printing to a custom 10x8 page (on 10 inch roll paper) yields the same
odd formating results in Acrobat. I haven't gotten to color issues
yet. The files are formatted just fine going straight from iView to
the printer. This is an Acrobat issue. I'll continue to experiment.
As for printing in any other application than strictly Photoshop in
Panther,
I can say that I am getting the exact output from InDesign and
Illustrator.
I don't use either of those apps but assume they have output controls
similar to other Adobe apps like Photoshop and Acrobat where you can
specify an output profile within the applications. I'm sure that works
fine. Its the myriad of other good apps out there that don't have
specific output controls within the application that I'm concerned
with... which is most applications. It shouldn't be this complicated
to get predictable color managed output from those applications. All
the files are properly tagged and devices carefully profiled. I just
can't figure out how to get the OS to hand the file to the printer with
a predictable conversion in between.
Thanks
