[Lexicog] Cheyenne dictionary printout: different PDF converter needed

[Christopher Brewster]

I assume you sent Adobe your Word file.
Have you tried sending a postscript version? This should limit its
fredom to perform font substitutions.

Also try WordPerfect possibly. It should handle large files effectively,
it can import Word and handle the fonts and the newest version publishes
to pdf.
It is also quite cheap but surely some acquaintance will have a copy.

I agree that the Internet printing process *should* accept a pdf file
regardless of how it was produced, but I've run into a wall with the
automated process I'm trying. Since my dictionary is 600+ pages long
(and I omitted the English-Cheyenne Index since its 250 pp. would have
put the book over the 700 pp max), I have to be careful which printers I
use since some charge prices that make an individual book cost nearly
$80 (U.S.). I think I can get the book price down to approx. $20 with
the right Internet printer. I have checked out quite a few. Some want to
charge setup fees which our small budget cannot afford.

As for using Adobe's website, that is precisely what I did this morning.
Adobe's automated process substituted some other strange (and big) font
for my Cheyenne font which displays and prints a few special diacritics.

I keep trying different things. Dictionaries are worth the effort and I
learn from it all.

Benjam's option is a good choice but I am unclear why the use of
Ghostscript should be a problem to them.
You just need to to deliver a pdf file however you arrive at it.
Ghostscript is free and going via the ps-->pdf route is simple.

How big is your file?
Have you considered using Adobe's website for conversion:
