Question about PDFs

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can anyone explain to me why a correctly created PDF (created with the CTRL+Shift+S) doesn't print correctly and leaves out some of the fills? The PDF itself was properly generated but when printed on paper, some fills were missing.

Hello anto_bg,

You have to check if your pdf reader is able to read correctly Adobe Postscript files and then if your print device is Adobe Postscript 3 certified.

What happens with PDFs made via the publisher?

I don't know about the publisher. I never liked it....The produced PDFs were fine but as Christophe said the printing device must be certified....maybe this was the problem in the printing center. They were also baffled. Luckily, they agreed to reprint them because one of their printers didn't print them correctly while the other device printed them flawlessly.
