    Switch from Adobe to Affinity...?

    This was all of Pantone's doing. They blame is on a "disagreement" with Adobe. As both X-Rite and Pantone (X-Rite owns Pantone) are selling less and less hardware, they needed a revenue stream. Bam! Let's start a subscription service like every other company on the face of the earth.

    8, 16 & 18 page signature folding and cross grain binding

    In my experience, most 40" sheets (28x40, 24x36, etc.) are short grain. This can be determined by the way the paper is described. This first dimension is the grain direction. 28" x 40", the sheet is short grain. of it is 40" x 28", then it would be long grain.

    Having started my career at a newspaper in 1988, this makes me sad. Just like driving a car with a manual transmission, you can't beat the tactile feel of ink on paper.

    latest InDesign beta opens/converts PDF files

    I have tried it out. This will come in very handy. Hopefully one day it will expand to PDFs created in other apps. I do feel for the small developers of plug-ins. Markzware has a similar product, PDFMarkz. This will definitely cut into their revenue. I had a friend's company, a lowly apprentice...
