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...

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?

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

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

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.

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

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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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

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

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...

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??
