Hi Deron,

Thanks for your efforts in getting PageStream working in OS-X. I used the Beta to do a
drawing and found that Export to PDF removes all the arrowheads from lines. I then planned
to use the built in PDF support in the Mac's print routine, but found that this option is not
available in the printer dialog box. Is there a reason the print to PDF function is removed? I
ended up doing a screen grab to get my PDF.

Thanks,
Ron

Ah, figures. The last big thing to make PDF export fully functional! (It
does happen to be in the macintosh readme Wink

Hmm. I have not done much with Printing yet. It has worked for most, so
I've not ventured far. I use the lower level methods for printing so the
Apple print dialog that offers that doesn't appear. However, you can
still use it. As I remember, you can create a PDF printer, or simple
just choose PageStream's Print Setup and choose "Save as PostScript".
Then print a postscript file to disk and use Preview to generate a PDF
or if it is too complex for it, use pstopdf.com.

I am still trying to dumb down the PostScript output enough to get
Preview to be able to handle all the output. No idea why Ghostscript
does a better job than Preview. Of course, I've also got some PDF that
Preview doesn't like but Acrobat Reader has no problems with.

Hope that helps in the interim, and thanks for the feedback!
