Delete Log Files For Successful Jobs Creates a log file (named messages.log) only if there are messages from interpreting the PostScript file or if a PostScript error occurs. (Log files for failed jobs are always created.) Guidelines for creating PostScript files If you want to fine-tune the creation of the PDF with Distiller parameters or pdfmark operators, first create a PostScript file and then convert that file to PDF. For more information about the Adobe Acrobat 9 SDK, see the Acrobat Developer Center at www.adobe.com/go/learn_acr_devcenter_en (English only). In authoring applications such as Adobe InDesign, use the Print command with the Adobe PDF printer to convert a file to PostScript. The Print dialog boxes can vary from application to application. For instructions on creating a PostScript file from your specific application, see the application documentation. Keep in mind the following guidelines when creating PostScript files: • Use PostScript Language Level 3 whenever possible to take advantage of the most advanced features of PostScript. • Use the Adobe PDF printer as your PostScript printer. • (Windows) Send the fonts used in the document.
