SYMPTOMS
When you try to open a PostScript file created by Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 in ScenicSoft TrapWise 3.5.x, you receive an error message that is similar to:

Cannot open file &quot;filename&quot; at or near character nnnnn ; file contains printer-specific information. TrapWise cannot remove or replace this information when printing. &quot;%%BeginFeature:&quot;

This error message occurs in both the Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh versions of TrapWise.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because PostScript files created by Publisher 2003 contain PostScript features that TrapWise does not support.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must convert the PostScript file to an Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) file. You can use a PDF distilling program such as Adobe Acrobat Distiller or Global Graphics Jaws PDF Creator to do this. You can then open this PDF file without receiving the error message that is listed in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article.
