    If we get more presets, at some point it certainly will be necessary to have preflight categories like images, text, fonts, document, …

    It is one click. Doesn‘t take that much of my lifetime. So I am fine with this.

    Don‘t think, it is „buggy“. Attach the Publisher file Here with only the image and the text box, and we‘ll see …

    … but IDML files ARE InDesign files!
  5. mac_heibu
    *.indd files don’t work and won’t work in the future. You have to export your InDesign files using the IDML format.

    Did I get you wrong? Why should the „+“ be in the centre of the clone tool? The „+“ indicates the source position and the circle shows the target position.
  7. mac_heibu
    No, hopefully not! On default, I definitely don‘t want a contour to be modified, when I change the size of an element. This would end up in a chaotic document once you start to resize single objects.

    Which application are you talking about? How exactly do you resize the image frame?

    I like it, when person A proposes person B, how he should spend his money in order to satisfy person A.

    @MikeW, Yes DCS was usable, but completely failed with clipping paths and spot colors due to a parsing error of Quark. DCS 2 finally works (– with all EPS inherited restrictions).
  11. mac_heibu
    @MikeW: Regarding EPS: Adobe considers EPS as a last millennium format. It is pure „one page postscript“ lacking all page related features and extended basically with some single page boxes. In addition, there were quite restricting limitations concerning the allowed amount of vector nodes. (Never saw the alert: „Vektor nodes out of bounds!“?) EPS doesn‘t support a whole lot of modern requirements: no transparency, no spot colors, no color management to only name a few. To add those features, EPS was creepingly extended by proprietary features: Adobe added a tag to add (not really support) color profiles, Quark extended EPS to DCS/DCS 2 to allow spot colors – but ironically QuarkXpress wasn‘t able to read DCS. Only DCS 2 was usable in a way. If I think back, what a complex workflow was necessary to layout an image, knocked out by a clipping path AND using a spot color! Not to think of 2 spot colors! Using PDF, this Done in a twinkle of the eye. So, Adobe decided to declare EPS as „End of Life“ and suggests, not to use it any more. But print industries are a very conservative branch of industries …

    QuarkXpress – never ever again! I had my experiences with this company and this was enough (, although knowing, that they have a new management since some years). Every former Quark-User will remember the so called „Superpixel“ bug, where under certain reproducible circumstances images with clipping path or placed EPS files got a badly ragged contour. This was not easy to detect, because the document preview of EPS files was very poor. You cn imagine, that this provoked quite a lot of unnecessary expenses regarding the proof & print process. When I talked to a high level supporter of Quark about this known(!) issue and asked, why this heavy bug wasn’t fixed until version 5 (don’t know about the later versions), he simply laughed and literally answered: „If you can promise, that we sell only one more copy of our software, we will think about fixing this issue." That was the day, I changed to InDesign …

    What is „full IDML support“? This will never work, because we have no featue parity between InDesign and Publisher. Only one example: The paragraph composer in InDesign, has no equivalent in Pulisher, so you won’t get the same result.

    The Apple profiles a monitor profile (which should be applied to a monitor). Your document needs a document (image) profile, which depends on the output requirements (which we don‘t know. Just try to assign sRGB.

    Sh…t happens! Of course I meant CC 2020! Sorry for that, Jens!
  16. mac_heibu
    To make some guys stumble here : I love my Creative Suite 2030, But I love the Affinity suite too. I see both collections not opposed, but complementary. Very, very happy, that Apple rewarded you with the title „App of the Year“! Curious, what we can expect from Affinity in the next month and years!

    The "column rules“ tab is named „Vertikale Ausrichtung“ in German, what is wrong. The „Vertical Alignment“ tab is named „Vertical Alignment“, what is wrong too. Should be „Vertikale Ausrichtung“.
  18. mac_heibu
    Which bug? If you don’t give us a sample as thomaso suggested, nobody can tell you anything about the reason of your large file sizes.
  19. mac_heibu
    Export the document as PDF, create a new Publisher document with the needed dimensions 21 x 21 cm) and place the „old“ document.
  20. mac_heibu
    If you have flowing text from page to page resorting/repositioning of single pages makes absolutely no sense, because reporting pages doesn‘t „resort“ the content. If you have single pages or single chapters, this is a completely different situation, and you can of course reposition these pages/chapters within your complete page collection.
  21. mac_heibu
    Can’t believe this! Isn’t it possible to paste a bunch of "lorem ipsum" text (for example using this site: https://loremipsum.de) copy and paste this text so long, until you have as much pages as you have now, to test, if the slowdown happens here too and if the problem reoccurs, to upload this document to the link, which Jon posted? To find a malfunction of an application, it is necessary to have a sample, which demonstrates the issue. Otherwise reporting issues is nothing more than grumbling.

    Why on earth should this be „counter intuitive“? Because Photoshop does it in a different way? If you use a different application, you have to learn/accept different approaches to a subject. The“Transform“ approach is a completely logical way of resizing an element/a selection. You can’t really expect a serious application to copy its competitor. If it is too heavy to learn/accept different ways to solve a problem, then perhaps Photoshop would be the road to go …

    This normally isn‘t possible in layout applications. You have to adjust the ink coverage by using an appropriate color profile.

    In this case, it may be related to the „group“ on top, the content of which we don’t know. Could you please share the document with us (a small document containing the image and text should be enough)?
  25. mac_heibu
    The image contains transparency, so under certain output conditions (PDF-X/1 for example) the underlying text is (necessarily rasterized. To avoid this: Place the text above the image..
