Good news and thanks.
Pity the issue with PDF like this one http://www.apassionata.de/NL02-06.pdf where RiScript shows crap instead of text (the app !PDF shows the correct text) has not been resolved. |

Have you contacted the developers and gave them and example, like you have above? |

I'm glad to see the RiScript developers are continuing to work on and improve the product, as I still use my RISC OS machine for graphic design, layout and (where possible) pdf creation for print; the RO GUI, plus Artworks, Ovation Pro and Photodesk, is still more pleasant and easy to use than Windows, I find. Furthermore, the upgrade (to users of v5.00 anyway) is free. So well done Messrs Medema and v.d.Bos! |

Certainly, first time quite a while ago already and again after getting this upgrade. |

looking forward to getting mine. Unfortunately my invitation has gone to an email address that no longer works. I signed in and updated my profile and have written via the contact page requesting a download password. I hope they are checking emails over the new year period. |

It'd be interesting to have more info about CMYK handling - given how lacking this is in RISC OS, Draw files and the printer drivers don't support it, what can one do? However RiScript might be a useful CMYK component in the future e.g. when Martin Wuerthner gets his new PostScript printer driver working.

It might be worth continually trying, because I think their email is somewhat unreliable (with the last version they picked up on a problem I'd encountered from a Usenet post, and got it fixed pretty quickly, but I didn't hear a reply from an email in response to the test version they sent me). |

In reply to SimonC:
I vaguely remember that I got a reply to this problem from them once stating that it is not an easy one to fix. But thanks for the suggestion - I will resend my mail the odd time asking for a reply until I have a response to be sure the email got someplace where it was read by the developers. |

I just got a reply from the developers:
They are aware of the problem and it is high on the list. Not an easy one to implement. Good news! |

A free update to PDF authoring package RiScript was released in time for Christmas this year. Version 5.04 is compatible with RISC OS 6 and can save out files in CMYK colour, which is useful for professional printing.
