QD53 - EndFormsPrinting and FormsPrinting
PicComments
(16-January-98)
Q
I notice that the EndFormsPrinting and FormsPrinting PicComments
don't work under PostScript Level 3. How come?
A
As of PostScript Level 3, Adobe has redefined copypage to behave like
showpage (without an implicit initgraphics). This change breaks Apple's
handling of the EndFormsPrinting and FormsPrinting PicComments.
As stated
in Technote QD10 '
Picture Comments--The Real Deal', Apple does not
recommend or support the use of these PicComments. With the release
of PostScript Level 3, these PicComments are now obsolete and will no
longer be supported. For more information on Adobe's changes to copypage
and other Level 3 operators, please see their web site at
http://www.adobe.com.
