Review

"Thomas Merz, Diplom-Mathematiker und PostScript-Enthusiast der ersten Stunde, legt ein Buch vor, das alle Voraussetzungen hat, ein neues Referenzwerk zu werden. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Freaks, sondern auch an die interessierten Anwender, die ein fundiertes Verständnis für PostScript entwickeln und einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen möchten.
...Besonderes Lob gebührt dem Autor dafür, daß er sich in seinen Ausführungen nicht auf eine bestimmte Plattform beschränkt, sondern alle wichtigen Betriebssysteme berücksichtigt.
...Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch."
(PAGE 7/96 zur deutschsprachigen Ausgabe)

From the Back Cover

Originally entitled the "PostScript and Acrobat Bible" in German, this handbook achieves the seemingly impossible: it covers this tricky and technical field in an entertaining manner without getting bogged down in PostScript programming. It explains how several components work together and how to deal with real-world application and operating system problems. The whole book is creatively designed, making use of comical illustrations. In short, essential reading for all technically minded users of PostScript and Acrobat/PDF - from PC owners wanting to get the most out of their laser printers and graphic artists with Macs to system administrators and online publishers.
