Re: Pdf/x
I use InDesign CS3 and Place PDF's that I have made in XPro quite reliably so long as there is not text involved where we still have problems with certain letters. I have not yet used Pro 5 yet with PDF/X-3 which includes transparencies with text above which I will deal with when required. I think I will still export only graphics and use layers in InDesign to place the text. What I can see so far and I have only done two newsletters in XPro 5 which were sent to the print shop that both were reliable but these were fairly simple. The newsletter were 2 col. occasional graphics in frames, with front page having headers and footers, with the rest just having footers. Checked both in Freehand MX because it handles multi pages everything looked fine then sent to printers. Only one has been printed so far with no complaints from print shop. If you are going to use XPro for this do have another programme for checking as I have been caught out once in XPro 4 when the text flow went onto another col. taking the text from one col. into the other. In this case it was important as it was describing an Advantage of a process taking it to a Disadvantage col.
Design is thinking made visual.
