Not sure -- as I recall, OPW with DPS selected wouldn't print to Acrobat 8, but
would print to Acrobat 4. When I get time, I'll check it with Acrobat 4 (and
5-7, if I can find machines with those versions installed).

I don't use meta files, and I've always found that DPS gave better quality for
complex documents. And wasn't there some issue with images that have a
