[comp.sys.mac.apps] Pagemaker 4.01 and Illustrator 3.01 problems

hlt@napcc (Harold L. Trammel) (06/06/91)

I have recently received both the Pagemaker 4.01 and Illustrator
3.01 updates.  The upgrade from Illustrator 88 to v. 3 resulted in
Pagemaker 4.0 not printing at all.  The file would go to the
printer (eventually) and nothing would appear (longest wait before
restarting the printer was 30 minutes for a simple PS image).

The Pagemaker 4.01 information states that this upgrade would
solve the previous problem with Illustrator 3 artwork.  Good news,
right?  Simultaneously (well, within a few days) the Illustrator
3.01 arrived.  Both are installed but the old problem persists.

I have saved the Illustrator files as Illustrator 88 files and
simple images will now work but images containing text die.  

I can print the Pagemaker page (without Illustrator art) to a 
Postscript file, place it in Illustrator and it will print fine.
If I place the Illustrator art in the same Pagemaker page and do
the same process, Illustrator will not print it either.

I'm running 6.0.5 on a MacIIcx with 4 mb ram and printing to a
LW+.

Calls to Aldus Tech Line have resulted in high phone bills and
sore ears, but nothing but recordings and "music?"

Any help here would be appreciated.
