Sorry, I had to clarify: I was referring to Affinity Publisher and Designer. Macros/Batch Jobs are only available in Photos. And still, Photos is not scriptable. Affinity is well aware of this shortcoming. Until they provide solid scripting APIs comparable to Adobe's products, Affinity has no...

Only Affinity products currently cannot be automated.

Thanks for replying, Dov. Oh yeah I'm well aware of your impressive credentials - after all, I was on the InDesign mailing list back when InDesign 1.0 was released! My point is that in the real world, the PostScript-to-PDF workflow remained largely a standard well into 2004, whether it was...

May I nitpick? More like 2004. It took time till direct PDF from InDesign could be confidently supplied for reliable printing.

"Fermented" can make the whole difference between healthy and unadvisable.

Oh yeah of course I know that all kind of browsers can translate anything to whatever. But first, how many of their potential customers are even aware of this? And of those who are aware, how many will take the trouble of invoking browser translation in order to understand their website...

An option to switch to English may help...

Just make sure to disable "new Acrobat" once you install it. This will disable the new horrible counter-intuitive UI that Adobe introduced in Acrobat some time ago - and restore Acrobat's normal, human-oriented UI.

That's a good tutorial. Kasyan created many great scripts. There's also a commercial product - Output Factory - that can do this (among other things) with many various options. (Disclosure: I'm the developer.) InDesign output automation | Output Factory

It's a known issue that many users report. I experience a similar issue too on Mac Studio + Dell 4K monitor. Only in my case only the window that holds document tabs moves downwards. Clicking the green button restores its normal position. Also, I don't use Application Frame - maybe that's why...

Yep Mac's print UI and settings are totally embarrassing. On Ventura they improved the appearance slightly (in my view) but also added some bizarre options to print presets, which turned the already nearly useless print presets into some utterly confusing mess.

I wonder you have have auto-update enabled in Creative Cloud app? Then you can disable it (as you may know anyway).

Just to make sure: I assume you meant Creative Cloud (CC), NOT Creative Suite (CS). Because non-subscription CS apps (the latest being CS6) won't work on macOS 13.

if you're on Mac, are you updated to macOS 13.5? this fixed some issues to 18.5 users (although the ones that were reported weren't related to PDF export).

I also first thought it's a letdown when they discontinued 27" iMac (used them since 2011). But then I quickly realized that replacing iMac with Mac Studio + 4K 27" monitor is a much better setup anyway. I only see advantages and wouldn't want to go back to an all-in-one iMac (if they ever...

InDesign 18.5 should fix this issue (provided this known issue is the culprit for your problems): https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-18-5-enhanced-performance-amp-bug-fixes/td-p/13961049 Depending on where you're located, the update might not be available in the CC...

Is it just me or it's totally bizarre to call it "Success MANAGER"? "Managing" implies that they may at some point also tone your success levels down if, heaven forbid, you achieve too much of it. I could understand "Success Enabler" or "Success Creator" or "Success Accelerator" or whatever...

If you're using AppleScript in any form (scripts or AppleScript-based apps): To Apple's credit, they made AppleScript much faster on Monterey. It can be blazingly fast: 5-6+ times faster than on earlier systems. On both Intel and M1 Macs.

To rephrase my reply more accurately: History has demonstrated that, when it comes to protecting the environment, capitalism is the best economic and social system compared to other known systems. It's not perfect but other systems are much worse.
