If you encounter a bug using Adobe software that affects how you need to prepare images for use with TEX, L^ATEX or related software, then please do the following:

• check whether it is listed below; follow the link to obtain a more detailed description, with examples;
• if your bug is similar to one listed already, but occurs on a different platform or with a version of Adobe software not stated in the description, then please report it stating:
  `Same as bug $\langle$bug-ID$\rangle$'
  quoting the identifier found on the description page.
• if it is a completely different `bug', then report it giving both a short description and a more detailed description. The latter can be a link to a website or archive where sufficient details, with examples, can be obtained that characterize the `bug' and how it affects your work. Please describe also any methods that you have found to `work around' the bug/deficiency.
