I'm using OS X (10.3.5) on a titanium Powerbook. I run Quark (v4.2), distiller and Acrobat on the classic environment. I can print a postscript file to disk from Quark and run this through distiller to create a pdf with no problems. However, postscript files created using the Quartz function in OS X are not understood by distiller in the classic environment!

Does OS X create a different type of postscript file to that created in classic? Why can't acrobat (in classic) read a .ps file created under OS X? I'd like to be able to print pages in OS X as postscript files and be able to run them through distiller in classic so that I can control the amount of compression, CMYK colour profiles etc when it's being distilled to create a pdf file.

Also, when printing pages as pdf files in OS X, is there any way of configuring the compression ratios to reduce the file sizes?

Thanks in advance.
