What are the problems when I open a PM file from one platform in the other?
Fonts, fonts and fonts. You need to have the same version of the same font from the same font foundry on both platforms if you want all spacing, line endings etc to be identical. Otherwise you will get font substitutions which may have a major effect on the layout. Other problems relate to graphic formats. TIFFs are relatively universal (there are differences but PM copes pretty well). With EPS (encapsulated postscript) graphics, you may not get a preview when you transfer but the file should print okay, unless it has fonts specified but not included. PM6.5 creates previews but earlier versions may just show a gray box on screen. If you stick to these graphic formats you will have few problems. PICT and WMF formats are best avoided with files which may need to transfer.
