Default Re: Nexus vs Prinergy

The one thing I would ask you to ask yourself:
Am I going to be asked to do type changes on incoming PDFs, and if so, how will I do them?

If you do need to do type changes on incoming PDFs (and want to do them using the embedded fonts in the PDF and not have to use some other font that may not match what the customer sent in), then I would look at Neo and not Artpro/NexusEdit.
I have used Nexus for years, and this is the one weakness to their Vector workflows that I wish were changed but probably never will be.
If it wasn't for this one thing (imagine me needing editable type, how could I want such things?!), then I would consider Nexus about a perfect workflow.

I too have wanted to upgrade to an all-PDF workflow that I could trust, but I don't know of one (haven't tested anything other than Neo, which I thought would do what I needed as far as PDF editing, and really don't have time or inclination to get much into testing because it's cumbersome when I got a working workflow).
