Originally entitled the PostScript and Acrobat Bible in German, this handbook achieves the seemingly impossible: it covers this tricky and technical field in an entertaining manner without getting bogged down in PostScript programming. It explains how several components work together and how to deal with real-world application and operating-system problems. The author genuinely wants to assist in overcoming cross-platform barriers using MS-DOS, Windows, Macintosh or UNIX and, accordingly, neither the book nor the tools are limited to one particular platform or operating system. The 9 chapters and 3 appendixes run the entire gamut, from the very basics right up to Ghostscript and the whole is creatively designed, making use of comical illustrations. In short, essential reading for all technically minded users of PostScript and Acrobat/PDF - from PC owners wanting to get the most out of their laser printers to graphic artists with Macs to system administrators and online publishers.

Reviews for PostScript & Acrobat/PDF: Applications, Troubleshooting, and Cross-Platform Publishing

Thomas Merz, Diplom-Mathematiker und PostScript-Enthusiast der ersten Stunde, legt ein Buch vor, das alle Voraussetzungen hat, ein neues Referenzwerk zu werden. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Freaks, sondern auch an die interessierten Anwender, die ein fundiertes Verstandnis fur PostScript entwickeln und einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen mochten....Besonderes Lob gebuhrt dem Autor dafur, dass er sich in seinen Ausfuhrungen nicht auf eine bestimmte Plattform beschrankt, sondern alle wichtigen Betriebssysteme berucksichtigt....Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch.
