Powerpoint postscript

[Paul Horsley]

We are trying to print powerpoint files to postscript
then distill them to PDFs.
The type is white and colour on a dark background.
The type is disappearing when printing to postscript,
we have tried pdf maker but we have logos in and this does
not give us a high enough quality.
thanks in advance

PDFMaker, in any version of Acrobat from 4 or 5 on, just automates the
process of printing to PS then distilling. If it produces bad results with
logos, it's probably just a matter of changing the PDFMaker or Distiller
settings.

What driver are you printing to when you print directly to PS?
If it's not a color driver, it can have some major effects on how PPT
outputs text, backgrounds and such.
