Package native file at page level?

[dferber]

I really enjoy having the Package function in Publisher.

Would it be possible to package isolated edited pages and their supporting files? Now that I've convince my local printer to acquire Publisher so we can work with native files, it would be great if we could just export a page or a range of pages instead of having to package and upload the whole document.

Aside from the good news that your local printer supports APu now ... where is the benefit over sending press-ready PDF files?

Unfortunately you cannot even fool the package function right now by making images invisible or moving them off-canvas. Packaging files that are off-canvas I would call a flaw.

My printer prefers and requested native files if they are available. It's a workflow that has been traditional during the old InDesign days. That being said, I've completed many projects with sending a PDF without issue. Not sure of their reason, you would have to ask them.

If there have been edits that only effect one or two pages in a file, very often a printer prefers to work on just those pages. Some Publisher files, and their supporting file, make for a sizable upload too.
