Yes, the version number, not the file's size, since it can be different, like once you delete the image(s) that was/were used as template(s) to redraw something, etc. If they think to create new version, that's already good. But they won't always think of modifying the timestamp if you wrote it in the file name. (People tend to choose the simplest or laziest way... and I do it when working on simple files that won't take hours.) Number version are easier, and since the time I worked with QXD, it's enough to keep files and reverse to an older one when one is corrupted. You can have servers and their backup, or/and also use oneDrive or other services/apps depending of the OS. All will depend of the way we're working. If we only work on a single file each day, timestamps can be added, it won't be so much of a problem or wasted time. But if you work on different files, at some point, the simplest trick do it better without error (erasing the last characters of the file name and incrementing the version is easy, it's common when creating and sending PDF to clients, etc.).

But even in another place, v10 will be bigger than v5. [edit] And if it's for backup, I don't look at the modification date, only version. I order by date to get faster to the last version, since it's usually one ofthe last modified/saved. If I need to work from a different emplacement, I update the version when doing a "save as" or after the copy, modifying the file's name, to avoid confusion. [/edit]

Instead of writting dates (the Explorer or Finder can display last modified date in a column, and order by it), versioning (v1, v2, v3, v4....) should suffice.

Hi @Levtrona and welcome! It'sthe antaliazing that create this fine lighter line. You can get rid of it adding a colorfull shape below, or simply moving the nodes of one side to overlap the other side. [edit] Really nice design! I like it. [/edit]

Depending of the app, columns or narrow text frames*: poem.afpub * Sorry if I messed this poem, I just checked text and examples with Google.

It all depend of the type of file. It's suited to produce books with lot of text, and do a fine job of it (if compared to older PDF2HTML tools). It won't be so bad as PDF with lot of images, but using a dedicated tool to create epub is always better, of course. ID do a sad job converting to epub, if the original file wasn't produced with this intend, since we use tricks and special characters that can't be well converted to html. And publishing houses will convert the ID file without finesse... (at least, a big editor does it this way, perhaps some will put more time on this and get a better result). Doing epub is a job and need skills. Using converting tools should be the first step, if not using a dedicated one. 1. You'll only be able to use the same fonts if you tell the app to use them, and preferably if you got the licences for this use... 2. Pages are irrelevant in an epub, unless you do fixed layout instead of reflow, but in this case, PDF is better suited. 3. Epub is suppose to reflow content depending of the setting of the device (use document's fonts or choosen ones, use document's size or set one, etc.), it's screen size, etc. It's like a web page or browser. 4. Are those illustrations usable on a web page? If not, they'll be converted to other format, with possible errors if the app messed the 4 CMYK channels with the 3 RVB ones.

In the case of the last link: sometimes, using the exported SVG or AI file opened in AD, modifying the colours of the background, of some objects, or blend modes, can give an usable file.

First, you should check if it's really vectors (not seeing the layer panel and layers don't help), and not images with cropping paths. Since the white lines are due to antialiasing between adjacent forms, adding background can help (or duplicating the background shape, but this can be heavier for the file's size. For example, this image open better using the .ai file (vectors), than the .eps: https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/realistic-galaxy-background_14960493.htm#query=night sky&position=30&from_view=keyword This one will use unknown blend mode, and the .ai file won't open correctly: https://www.freepik.com/free-vector/background-galaxy-blue-tones_1229546.htm#query=night sky&position=16&from_view=keyword Sometimes, using other tools (apps or online like Photopea) to convert to SVG can help (or not, like in the last case).

I think so, Josie.

I think it's nice like you did it, with paler pink for the big "LOVE"

Did you tried disabling or deleting elements in the group to check which one and its properties messed the result?

Using a style will let you use it elsewhere, and modification will be easier later. You dont even need a mask, just get a single "e" in your example case.

Other bugs with this PDF/X-3 exportation: The ability to export in RVB is bugged, it only provide the desktop printer's profile, and not all the list I usually have using other PDF versions able to export to RGB (or the document's profile). And the PDF produced, with the "convert color mode" selected, convert to CMYK instead of RGB. At least, there's no transparency, and this one is what we expected from the export.

The missing Helvetica isn't listed, only the one I use for visual replacement. And if I can find an Helvetica in the "PDF" option, I can't choose variants, or (un)select italic.

It's grey out. Did you tested the packaged zip in the thread?

...but how can I replace specifically the bold, italic, regular and bold-italic? Impossible to specify the one I want, and I need to be precise in the searching field since Helvetica are precise (55 Roman, 56 Italic, 75 Bold, etc.)

Thanks, but you can add also the same problem on Win10 Entreprise version 1809.

Trying to replace a missing font in APub can make you crazy... since you can't select variants for a missing font, you can't search it! But the preflight panel will indicate there's a FontX-Bold missing, for example... I just wanted to create a PDF with the PDF/X-3 RGB option on Win7, where I have an Helvetica, but different from yours... and I can't even replace it.

It's really a big bug, if the apps of the same version can't even provide the same features, depending of unknown properties. 🥵

I have the 3 regular apps on Win10, and the 6 (regular & bêta on Win7), but I'm not sure they share code, or common files.

Win7 and Win10 use the same convertion library: PDFlib+PDI 9.3.1-i (Win32)

I don't have it either on the work's PC where there's only regular version 1.10.4 and win10, but it's possible on win7.

There's only 3 different versions for OSX/Windows/iPad. And beta versions for testing. So, if the bug is on OS X, it's for all, since it's the same OS, and theorically the same code in AD, AP and APub.

Hi @thomaso, can you confirm there's no RGB option for PDF/X-3 on the Mac apps?

Is it a Windows only feature? We need another Mac user to confirm it, and if needed, fill a bug report
