Acrobat Pro is what the Adobe.com site uses, so I am sure it works 
fine.  I would like to avoid it, and to continue the use of 
Ghostscript.  There is where the problem lies.  There, and with the loss 
of PDF archives that can still be displayed on Reader 6 and 7, but not 
on 8 and 9.

I suppose that Acrobat Pro gives you the option of writing XPDF/3, but 
it sure doesn't offer it on the Adobe.com site.  Does it give you the 
ability to set Trimbox, Bleedbox and Mediabox to different values?  That 
seems to be available only with the << >> setdistillerparams convention, 
and I find nothing in PDFTeX that recognizes the need for this or that 
offers a way to introduce distillerparams. This has become a necessity 
with up-to-date printing houses, which no longer pay attention to 
visible crop marks (in fact, they deplore them).
