The free Acumen Journal presents two monthly articles, one
— ‘The Acrobat User‘ — featuring advanced uses of
Adobe Acrobat, and the second — ‘PostScript Tech‘ —
covering some aspect of PostScript programming.

For November, the technical features by John Deubert of
Acumen Training are:

• The Acrobat User: ‘JavaScript: Creating a Nagware PDF

  Document, Part 2′

  Deubert finishes the nagware document he started in the
  previous issue. This Acrobat document periodically asks the
  user for payment, eventually rendering itself unreadable if
  the user doesn’t type in a serial number.

• PostScript Tech: ‘Using EPS Files in Handwritten
  PostScript Code’

  People who do variable data printing frequently do so with
  handwritten PostScript code. Encapsulated PostScript files
  provide a very convenient way to include in these files logos
  and other graphics created in applications such as Adobe
  Illustrator and Photoshop.
