That isn't something that you can do with PDF. You're seeing DPS demos. BTW, DPS Single Edition apps are free of charge with a Creative Cloud account. Bob

And BTW, there is nothing exciting about having the orientation change. In fact, many people find it quite annoying. If you check around you'll see that many major publications only publish in one...

Very weird. I shut down for the night last night. I force quit all apps before shutting down to speed up shut down. Came in today. Started up and all my print presets are gone but the prefs are still...
View ArticleRe: Prefs keep disappearing
Force quitting is never a good idea unless you absolutley positively have no other choice (like the only way to preserve a doc that ID won't save). Print presets, if you don't save them to an external...

Thank you, I tend to agree. The problem is that the printer (CreateSpace), won't give out technical information. I know there were problems printing the first PDF; and I asked specifically what they...

View ArticleRe: InDesign can load a standalone PS outline font when font managers cannot?
Screen fonts? Printer fonts? I feel like I just stepped back in time about 20 years. Type 1 fonts (or as you refer to them Postscript) fonts should work just fine if properly installed in the system or...
View ArticleRe: InDesign can load a standalone PS outline font when font managers cannot?
Yes Bob, I know, but unfortunately, that's how clients still provide their fonts to us. Here's how to test it- take a PS outline font all by itself (sans suitcase) and put it in the InDesign/Fonts...

Wouldn't PDFs be great? Yes. I also cannot say for sure how all customers are packaging their jobs for us. All I'm saying is that the oddity in all this is that InDesign can use the Type 1 PS printer...

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the OP means CS6 and CS4. If that's the case export from CS6 as IDML and open that in CS4. Peter's caveats apply here as well. Bob
