An AppleTalk - On Thinking Different
How is Apple reacting to these six key needs within the graphic arts? And will Mac 0S X hit all the marks?
"In Mac OS 8.5, we've revved up ColorSync, now supporting more color modules than ever. Also, AppleScript is five times faster and easier to operate.
Major software developers, including Adobe Systems, Macromedia and Quark, have already pledged support for Mac OS X, the next-generation evolution of Mac OS that's expected to be available this fall. Mac OS is continuing to evolve. Apple has the fastest PostScript driver in the world; we've been working on it 11 years with Adobe. Of course, Apple has been a big supporter of PDF, Adobe's Portable Document Format. Mac OS X will offer full PDF support. Mac OS X's internal-spooler file will be PDF, creating PDF files on the fly—removing the PostScript error potential. We are working very closely with Adobe and other vendors to make sure this PDF absorption into Mac OS is as robust and bug-free as possible."
