pdf printing issues

[Tim Huff]

Michael,

thanks for the help. i was able to get it to work if i went "the long way," manually convert the pdf to ps using the command line pdftops, edit the resulting ps file to replace the Creator and Title DSC comments and send the file down to the rip using lp.

i'll submit a STR for this.

thanks!
