We have a Creo RIP at our shop. We do a good bit of VDP, using DesignMerge and InDesign CS3 -- files seem to process quickly and we have good results. Our color is also very good.

free imposition?? We use this product: CutePDF - Create PDF for free, Save PDF Forms, Edit PDF easily;. Not free but at $49.95 is very inexpensive -- it does a lot of stuff, but mostly we use it for imposition. We got started with it quite some time back. Don't have so much need for it now but...

Legally purchase CS3 Oxburger -- I do not see CS3 offered on Adobe's site -- only CS4. If I do a google search, some stores will show CS3 but when I actually click the link, the product is CS4 -- the only links I have found, other than Amazon, which doesn't have a mac version, are for companies...

Adobe products at Amazon Adobe products at Amazon Thanks for that tip -- I noticed that Amazon had some products and thought that they would be legit -- but they only have CS3 for Windows and I need it for a Mac. We thought we would be replacing that machine but things slowed down... and it...

Does anyone know if there is a legal way to purchase an upgrade and/or full version of CS3? We have a computer that has been running CS2 but we need to upgrade to match the versions on another machine -- but I can't seem to find anything online that looks legitimate... any ideas? Judy

Re: Mac vs. PC fonts Thanks for the tip on Font Explorer -- I knew it was available for the Mac but didn't know they were getting ready to release a PC version. Judy

Re: Mac vs. PC fonts We have far too many fonts on our PC to keep them loaded all of the time -- and they have to be available to a TON of applications -- CS3 apps plus Publisher (gag), Word, Powepoint and Corel. We have been using an old font manager that came with Corel 12 -- Bitstream Font...

Re: Problems with "rules" when using tabs -- Indesign CS3 Wow! Just the info I needed, Rich -- and just knowing "why" makes me feel better --

Re: Problems with "rules" when using tabs -- Indesign CS3 David Thanks for doing a test -- helps me to know that I'm not crazy! Kerning makes complete sense -- not sure why I didn't think of it. Great workaround. I would still like to know if this is a glitch in InDesign, if it will be fixed...

I am having a problem that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I am using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4 with Suitcase managing fonts. We create a lot of forms -- they will have: Name(tab-return) Address(tab-return) City(tab)St(tab)Zip(tab) with the...

Re: DesignMerge and XMPie Hi Folks, The last couple of posts have been out of my league (but, hopefully, not forever) -- we are just looking at the lowest end version of XMPie and DesignMerge is mostly for print from what I can see. And, that is where we need to start. I was originally told to...

Hi, My bosses have asked me and a co-worker to review the software packages DesignMerge and XMPie and decide which one to purchase. We will be printing primarily to a Creo Spire RIP in front of a DocuColor 6060 but will also be doing some black and white printing also -- though I don't know to...

Hello all, A good client is asking us about scanning a lot of documents to be posted on their intranet. They would be scanned to PDF. Quantity could be as many as 3000 per day. A Ricoh representative I talked with told me the following look like good fits for us. I just wondered if anyone else...

Re: Alternatives to Punisher I mean Publisher So, are you saying that we can download and use the 2007 add-in with Office 2003?? With Office 2003, you must have been using a third-party PDF converter. Some of these (especially the ones that work as print drivers) tend to preserve less...

Re: Alternatives to Punisher I mean Publisher Thanks Don -- a lot of our output is to a DocuColor 6060 and doesn't require a lot of color mgmt -- pleasing color is good enough (esp to Microsoft end users) and the Creo RIP we have has a pretty good conversion from RGB to CMYK so this sounds like...
