    CS6 PMS Values in CMYK vs CS5 PMS Values in CMYK

    I guess I am confused. If you are working with Pantone colors, then you are doing so because you plan to actually print that specific ink. In which case, you don't care about the CMYK values. If you are planning on printing entirely in CMYK (process), then why are you authoring with a...

    font message in acrobat--OS X 10.7.4, Illustrator .pdf, Suitcase Fusion 4, OTF font

    HOW are you "making proofing and print-ready PDF files from Illustrator"? I would HOPE you are simply using Save As, yes? If not, what? Also, what version of Illustrator and Acrobat are in use here?

    Creative Cloud opinions please.

    Older versions will be uninstalled as they are updated in the subscription model.

    Creative Cloud opinions please.

    You'd need to read the EULA to get an official answer on that...

    Creative Cloud opinions please.

    As long as you maintain your subscription, you will get free upgrades. YOU CHOOSE when to install an update and when not to. As for "uninstalling" or reverting, that's a question I don't now.

    Creative Cloud opinions please.

    The Creative Cloud membership allows installation on two computers as well. So one price - two computers. Just like today.

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud

    As defined by the PS Level 3 standard, there is no such thing as ICC color management. Are there RIPs (and other tools) that EXTEND the standard to do so - of course. It's been part of Adobe CPSI for years. But supporting something and having it be part of the standard are two different...

    How to resize a PDF?

    all the standard comments about why refrying PDF files is a BAD IDEA go here... What gives you the impression that you can't print to Postscript from Acrobat? Why not? Price? Locked down machines? Other?

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud

    Also "almost true" ;). In terms of what InDesign stores in the file, it will actually store the information from the original placed artwork - we do NOT modify that as part of the authoring process. So if you have two pieces of art that each use the same Named color but with different...

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud

    That is incorrect. Postscript Level 3 supports device independent colors, but using a different model from ICC. ICC profile support exists only in Postscript via (semi-private) extensions to the language. You will not find the term ICC in the PS Level 3 book. But why would you be printing...

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud

    I would say that your list is quite suspect, because the use of ICC color (which is an excellent thing) is NOT SUPPORTED by either of the two other technologies that you list. Neither Postscript nor ICC are color managed graphics models. You can fake it in Postscript with other color...

    Is Pitstop causing Acrobat X to crash all the time?

    While the Creative Suite sells quite well to creatives and others, INDIVIDUAL COPIES (or more specifically, site licenses) for the Acrobat product alone significantly outnumber that. So yes, while Acrobat happens to be part of the suite - it is really a stand-alone product that just happens to...

    Is Pitstop causing Acrobat X to crash all the time?

    Prepress professionals are _NOT_ the target customer for Adobe Acrobat. While we certainly try to ensure that general PDF-related features are useful to that market, it is NOT our target customer base. The VAST majority of Acrobat customers work in enterprise, government and regulated...

    Pantone PDF Book

    No, PDF has no such limit. Correct. The Output Preview window in Acrobat Pro is limited to 32 spot colors. A real world document should never have that many - but we want to give you at least some flexibility.

    Is Pitstop causing Acrobat X to crash all the time?

    That is by design. Acrobat is designed and targetted for the Knowledge Worker and not for the designer. It may be part of the Creative Suite, but those same creatives are not the primary target. As such, we don't want the product to work like CS - we want it to work more like MSOffice.

    Now that CS6 is out, you will need to upgrade to CS6.

    Acrobat keeps crashing

    It is a known bug in Pitstop Pro 10 which Enfocus has fixed in Pitstop Pro 11.

    Converting select pages from CMYK to Grayscale in a .PDF

    Acrobat's Convert Colors feature lets you choose a page range.

    Turning ligatures off within a PDF?

    If the case of PDF, that is true. For other formats, such as MSWord or InDesign, it's the reverse. Actually, the PDF itself has controls. When a ligature is placed in a PDF, the producing tool can choose to provide a non-ligature alternative or not. If provided, that is what will be placed...

    Turning ligatures off within a PDF?

    Unlike authoring tools, a PDF does not dynamically select glyphs when it renders. All glyphs are selected by the authoring/production tool and embedded accordingly into the PDF. What sort of problem are you having with ligatures??
