font explorer font explorer I am mac based and currently use Font Explorer. I havent figured out how to make it differentiate between fonts - you can search for those that have 'serif' r script in their titles or description but this only goes so far. were your mixed feelings for font agent...

I have a library of 5000+ fonts that I want to organize usefully for design - serif, sans-serif, display, scripts, etc. Does anyone know of any software that will actually sort the fonts in some kind of useful way (ie - compare it to a database of known fonts and their styles?) thanks!

very helpful very helpful Tremendously helpful - thanks alot - we are introducing ALS fpr magazines into our workflow and want the ALS overlay to tell Quark Xpress how import our full page ads with bleed so we don't need to manually move them. Your info was most helpful !

I do have pitstop I do have pitstop how can I do it with pitstop? I just want to be able to verify that there is a bleed ...

How can I preview whether or not a doc has a bleed that has been hidden (cropped behind a white margin or otherwise) in acrobat 9? thanks!

Can you output a pdf file from quark 8 with bleed there but cropped out for placement purposes? InDesign does this automatically I think. Also, how can I preview whether a doc has a bleed that has been hidden (behind a white cropping margin or otherwise) in acrobat 9? thanks!

I guess I'm just trying to find out why that is - once the image's info is lost, converting it to tif isn't going to bring it back. I deal with hundreds of images each month and if I don't have to open them to to correct them in anyway, I would rather not open them simply to convert them to tif...

Good idea - I'll check - but if I have a jpeg to begin with - there would be no reason to convert to a tif right? I'm not going to get a better image quality doing that am I?

What I am talking about is client files that come in as jpegs. They often don't have any better quality image available so we use what we get. I'm wondering if I am going to gain any image quality by converting them to tifs when they are ultimately pdf-ed back to jpeg format and plated from there.

Why jpeg to tif - by the time pre-press sees them they have been pdf'd back to jpeg anyway?

Since jpeg is a lossy compression it seems to me that converting them to tifs and then pdf-ing them back to jpegs doesn't offer any gain in image quality. Would it be more efficient to leave them in jpeg format throughout the workflow? Also - does re-saving them as a higher number quality jpeg...
