William Cohen-Kiraly of Moirai Web & Design will present an overview
of Adobe Acrobat (PDF) and Encapsulated Postscript (EPS). Acrobat is Adobe's
"portable document format" which allows users to create a document
on one system which can be viewed (and printed and edited and more) on any
one else's computer regardless of platform, installed software or installed
fonts. Acrobat has a number of very special features of particular interest
to web designers for posting useful documents on the web and for capturing
websites for portfolios and for off-line viewing. The PDF format is based
on but not synonymous with Adobe's PostScript language and EPS files. Bill
will explain why they're different and what the heck a web designer should
do if they get an EPS file to post on their site. Bill is past president
of the Cleveland Desktop Publishers User Group and is currently running
the CDPUG Web SIG.
