  1. Re: pdf exports with errors, never done this before..

    I don't get the errors in XPD8, but do get font substitution in folded1a.xar, so perhaps the error is a font not being embeddable.

    The 5 stars in each xar file do not output correctly unless I...

    Re: Adobe commits suicide

    It's that pervasive thinking that Adobe is best at, not their software. Mistaking market share for software excellence pervades the marketplace.

    Microsoft also bought their way to market...
  5. Re: Design a Logo for XaRT

    Grace,

    Design by committee is rarely efficient and at this stage is rather distracting. Having done large-scale programming in the past, I feel you are on the best track to make it functional in...

    Re: Adobe commits suicide

    And do you actually use all those applications you are paying $600 a year for? I mean really using them?

    For myself, all I use and will ever use is InDesign and Illustrator. The 18 to 22 month...

    From their terms of service:

    Really, Adobe's terms of service regarding the entire CC product--applications and services--is so vague as to be largely worthless.

    But we'll see what happens....

    Of the current options, I like mindseye's the best. Having now seen it, hard to imagine one better than this.

  11. Re: Illustrator's Unite and Minus Front capabilities in Xara?

    BTW, depending upon what your users are doing in PS, you may find the bitmap functions in XDP are more than adequate. Also, XDP's new version is due out very soon. We all have yet to see what the new...
  12. Re: Illustrator's Unite and Minus Front capabilities in Xara?

    Oh, I just read the Minus Front operation you describe a bit better. In Xara, if I am understanding you better now, I am thinking you would be using an opacity mask. But a sample AI file showing what...
  13. Re: Illustrator's Unite and Minus Front capabilities in Xara?

    I would recommend downloading the trial if you have not already done so.

    I use both (and another), but Xara is my primary tool even if I need to return an AI file in the end. I do as much as...

    Re: Microsoft announce Windows 8 U-Turn

    I have read several articles about the 8.1 update. Don't agree with all parts of the "analysis" in any of them, much like this one.
