Two identical PostScript-files are presented with the file extensions ".TXT" and ".EPS".
The two PDF-files are different and are produced from EPS-files using the software
Adobe Acrobat Distiller 3.0 and the additional 2.1-compatibility option.

Remark for download of this page with the EPS-, TXT- and PDF-files
One can download this page and the corresponding EPS- and PDF-files to work offline with a Web-browser.
Restriction: For work on any platform (Mac, Windows 3.1, 95, NT, Unix)
the files must be downloaded with filenames in capital letters and in the same directory as this page
On any platform use for this page the filename INFIE052.HTM. There are no crosslinks to other Web-pages.

Remarks about the software "Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 and 2.1":
The output on any printer and monitor is usually dependend on both the PDF-file type, e. g. 3.0 or 2.1,
and the "Adobe Acrobat Reader (or Exchange)"-software used, e. g. 3.0 or 2.1.
The present version is recommended: the PDF-file type 3.0 and the software Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0

If the software "Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0" is not installed it may be downloaded
for any operating system from the Web-site: www.adobe.com.
This software exists license and charge free separately or as Netscape- or Microsoft-Browser-Plug-In.
If only the "Reader 2.1" is installed one may use the PDF-files specified as "Acrobat (3.0 and) 2.1".

Remarks about the PostScript (PS- or EPS-) source code files:
Identical PostScript source code is presented with the file extensions ".TXT "and ".EPS" twice.
One can read the source code automaticly as .TXT file by any Web-browser.
One can read the identical EPS-file- or PS-file-program code within a Web-browser
if one connects the file extensions ".EPS" or ".PS" with an editor of the operating system
(for Windows: e.g. "NotePad" for small and "WordPad" for large EPS- or PS-files)
(for Macintosh: e.g."Simple text" for small and "BBedit" for large EPS- or PS-files).

Any PS-printer interprets the "!PS-Adobe" at the beginning of a file as as PS-file.
Any PS-Printer will produce identical output for both using "copy" (Windows) or "download" (Mac)
the PS-file to the PS-printer and independent of the file extension ".PS", ".EPS" or ".TXT".
Any Display-PostScript-system will produce identical output on any colour monitor
and independent of the file extension ".PS", ".EPS" or ".TXT"

Other Software for EPS-, PS- and PDF-files
There is other software which can read and transform EPS-, PS- and PDF-files
(unfortunately often not PostScript Level 2 and 3 with device independent colours)
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Framemaker
The main program for any PostScript Level is Adobe Acrobat Distiller
which transforms any EPS- or PS-file to a PDF-file
(many options with different influence on colour output)


Remark: In a future step an ISO-standard process should make the output for CIELAB colors in the EPS-, PS- or PDF-files independent of colour device and software within 3 CIELAB units after calibration of the device!
