    Illustrator CS4 Artboards and Esko EPF or PDF??

    I was impressed with the powerful Artboards feature in CS4. Resizing, centering artwork, and multiple artboards are easily done. I am wondering how Esko epf export will handle the increased options available. Any response to this change? Can we have more than one epf page size exported from...

    Does anybody know a keyboard shortcut in Illustrator for going from the type tool (while you're entering text) to the item tool (command a or v) without just typing a letter a or v? Now I have to click on the item with the mouse, and thought there might be a shortcut that I don't know about.

    Esko R 4 Upgrade

    We have upgraded now, and all seems to work ok, at least from the backstage end of it. I'm not using packedge, but the rip seems to work smoothly on my epfs so far, so good.
