Conflicts with Lulu

With the original release of 'Pages', there is a known conflict with www.lulu.com ( a book publishing site). Apparently .pdf files created from within 'Pages' do not embed Fonts correctly and a 'work around' is published at http://www.anvilwerks.com/pages_workaround/

Does anyone know, whether the new updated version of Pages has corrected this problem?

The Lulu fax has a statement that you need to embed fonts and images in your PDF. If you don't embed the fonts they also provide a short list of standard fonts (such as Helvetica, Georgie, etc.) that can be used.

Cheers,

Hi, Bryan. It's a tad more complicated than that, since lulu has evidently blacklisted files that show pages as the creator. As stated in other posts, you can run through another program to create your PDF, and one person over in the lulu forum has said the making a PDF-X via the print dialog also solves this problem.

I don't think that is the case as a blanket statement. I think it only refuses a pdf that was created by Pages. That's what happened to me on my first try. But when I sent them a postscript file which was generated by Pages, Lulu took it and converted it to pdf without complaining. It printed successfully.

Interesting. Thanks, Baudoin.
