1 Hardware / Diagnose blank video output
July 21, 2023, 07:05
Hello,

I have a Mac IIci with a recapped mainboard that boots with correct chimes though the onboard video is blank. I bypassed the problem with a Nubus video card, but I would like to diagnose the onboard video, if only to eliminate soldier bridges or a bad cap.

I know it’s been a while.  Had some time to work on my document conversion to PDF again.  I have the AdobePS driver installed and set for a virtual printer using the Apple LaserWriter PS/600 template.

Any recommendations on printer settings?

I will test converting my Word files with the AdobePS print driver -> Distiller -> PDF with embedded fonts, then check the PDF on Windows.

Would I get a better conversion to PDF if I exported the Postscript files from the Macintosh and convert on the Windows machine?

My system configuration is a Mac IIci running system 7.1 with MS Word and WirdPerfect installed. I have Adobe Acrobat 3.0 and the LaserWriter 8.1 driver for creating PS files and converting to PDFs.

I have to try the AdobePS driver to see how good a job it does in creating PS files for Distiller though.

I also have a windows XP laptop that supports a SCSI interface and MacDrive for reading files from the Macintosh disks.

Were you able to find the patches for Acrobat 3?

Can you post the link or upload to Macintoshgarden?

Yes, that is the version I installed.  I didn’t see a patch on the Adobe site.

On a related question, are there any patches for Adobe 3.0 posted in Macintoshgarden?

I am using the Laserwriter v8.1 driver for EPS File output. Would switching to v8.5 be of benefit?

When print to a PS file and distill into a PDF with Adobe Acrobat 3.0; then print to my StyleWriter II, I notice that some graphics are rendered differently (different line or curve style) or not in same position like equation superscripts versus printing from Word/WordPerfect directly to the StyleWriter II.

I use the LaserWriter 8.1 driver to provide the save to PS option as it is not available on the StyleWriter.

Hello,

Following recommendations from other threads, I am using the LaserWriter 8.1 driver to print documents from WordPerfect/Word to PS format and then convert to PDF via Adobe Acrobat 3.0.

The conversion almost works though I still get some differences in the embedded graphics of the final PDF file.

Are there recommended settings or a better method to print the PS file?

I am running System 7.1 on a Mac IIci.

Thanks for your replies, I will follow up with Herb though he may be out of business now.
