I'm trying to print an 85 lpi halftone from Acrobat to an HP LaserJet 4300 printer, but have reached a dead end. Any tips or suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a trillion, attrofy! It looks great! I really appreciate your help.

hey thanks, I really appreciate this -- did you get the message I sent?

Attrofy, I'd like to take you up on that offer. How can I send the file to you?

I don't have Corel Draw, but I have a Corel Draw file (CDR) as a logo I need to use. Is there an easy way to convert the file to PDF or some other format without having to buy the software?

We routinely convert photos to grayscale for our newspaper's grayscale pages, but on the rare occasion we use a grayscale photo on a process color page, we get the image on all four plates: CMY&K. In the end, the photo looks "gray" if the registration is perfect, but it would be even sharper if...

Oh yes, lots and lots of options and settings. I'll post this at the Acrobat forum -- maybe they'll have some suggestions. Thanks! Joe

Couldn't you just select all the art on the page and rotate it 90 degrees?

I've given this a try -- it looks good when I open it in Photoshop and it looks good when I place it in InDesign. I'd like to test it further by placing it in Illustrator, but I don't have that program on the home computer I'm using. I've sent it to the t-shirt people -- hopefully it will work...

I need some help. I'm using InDesign 2.0 on a PC. We're getting some t-shirts made and the t-shirt maker can only take the art as an EPS file. So I exported the file to EPS from InDesign, but the art looks totally wrong on the t-shirt maker's software. One font was changed to Times and the...

Thanks a million, jmgalvin! This is a great tip and will save me a LOT of time down the road! Best regards, Joe
