Hi
I'd really appreciate some advice on the best way to make a pdf. I've just had Indesign CS4 and the latest Acrobat installed on my Mac and some crazy things are happening when im making pdf's.
When using Indesign CS2 - I'd just create the artwork and 'Press Quality' the pdf then in Acrobat flatten it and click off 'preserve overprint' and everything came out fine. Now I make the pdf in CS4 and I've noticed there's a flattening setting in Indesign>Output - not sure if im supposed to flatten artwork with that now or what it does? Then when I go to flatten the pdf in the latest Acrobat - it doesn't seem to work anymore??
Now when im printing files I either get artwork with random missing paragraphs of text - this is when it's been distilled and flattened, but the transparencies are great OR I don't flatten it, so the text is all there, but there's white boxes around everything with a drop shadow.
I've been reading online and clicking buttons, trying and testing - so someone please save me from tearing all my hair out..
Thanks
