    Compare 2 PDF files

    Hello, Acrobat DC now ships with Compare Files (see icon) This will compare text and objects and report on the differences. It is a handy tool but if might not show up changes in CMYK colour builds etc. All the other software I have seen compares text in two files (Nice if you have a contract...

    OSX vs Windows 10 for Pre-Press...

    Good point - Two personal reasons 1) I share those apps with other users who are PC savvy. 2) They are both colour quality control apps linked to a communal spectro. The apps and settings are all running smoothly and I'd hate to upset anything by reinstalling.

    OSX vs Windows 10 for Pre-Press...

    OTF font works fine on the Macs but not PCs - "does not appear to be a valid font"

    Thanks Ichokuchi, That makes sense to me. The PC boys are actually inside the IT department, so I assumed that they had admin permission on their own PCs but our IT Support team might not let them have access to everything. I'll see if our IT Support team can install the font with their Admin...

    OTF font works fine on the Macs but not PCs - "does not appear to be a valid font"

    Hello Buckeye, My team are Adobe CC and Mac OSX. The PC boys are using GMC Inspire. But we can't get any of our PCs to instal the font at all. But FontLab Studio on PC and Mac opens the font without issue. So it looks like a permissions/licence thing. If we really needed the font we'd be...
