    Illustrator converting from CS2 to CS3 type reflowing

    I was thinking it was a preference you could set but ... now that I think about it - I think it is just a dialogue box that opens and asks you if you would like to do that when you open the legacy file. Possibly, you need to go into your preferences and click the reset all warnings button. If...

    CS3.3 and CS 4.0

    The upgrade to 3.3 really just gets you Acrobat 9. All Acrobat 9 really gets you new is a bit of speed and some stronger collaboration tools. (There is some stronger preflighting and "smart" Overprint Preview but nothing to writ home about) I would just wait for CS4. It will be announced on the...

    Flattening question

    Since the title was going to be outlined when flattened I decided to open up the frame of the illustration so that it covered the entire title (not just the one line which it overlaps).

    Riddle Me This--No trapping

    Re: Riddle Me This--No trapping Yeah - why not just trap coming out of InDesign and be done with it if that is your only option and the prepress can not do it.
