I ran a test file and this is what I found. When you run the Distiller within PageMaker, there are three areas that need specific attention for your application. They are: Compression, Color Model, and Advanced Options. These options can be found under the drop down menu usually headed as "General" on the opening distiller screen.<br><br>Compression default is set to LZW/JPG Med - res at 72.<br> If you are sending your job to a service provider as we both know, this will not due.<br><br>Color Model default is set at RGB.<br> Here is where I think you will achieve your desired results. It made a world of difference in my test doc.<br><br>Advanced Options default -<br> Neither the Preserve overprint settings, nor the Preserve halftone screen info is selected. Depending on your project, I would check one or both of these options.<br><br>Hope this helps.<br>
