Hangman Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Hi @Iztok, If you need individual A4 Pages select All Pages rather than All Spreads when exporting your Publisher file...

Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 But this now is new, before that update works fine, this is new bug, yes I did it but is not OK if two A4 pages became A3. Quote

I'm unsure what you mean... If you export using All Pages you will end up with 4 x A4 Pages If you export using All Spreads you will end up with 1 x A4 Page, 1 x A3 Spread, 1 x A4 Page This is how it has always worked, it is not a bug...

Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 If you set spread and do a print you shall got 4 pages, but here you got 3 A3 pages- open pdf, you have A4, A3 and A4, don't say that this is all the time the same. So try to print pdf you got out 3 A4 pages, one page is missing, so? Zavrnitev 4.pdf Quote
Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 So if we were to print the pages as they are now in this beta version and we had a 32-page document, we would only be able to fit half of them, does that seem normal to you? Quote
Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I would like to point out some default settings that are the exact opposite of the most commonly used ones and are annoying because they are set as the basic ones themselves and the program does not remember that we set them differently, so when you open the document again, these settings are set again to the least convenient ones for designers. If you are not going to reset the basic settings to the most useful ones, please, if you can reprogram the application to remember my basic settings and not to reset these settings every time I create a new document. Embed - link is better and more usable, no image transformation for professional work is distorted after changing its geometry, cropping an object preserves its external dimensions, which is very annoying, especially if it is out of page format or when working with layers, all spreads when set to print, normal position for most works is all pages, for print or press. So, at least the fact that the program fills in the settings and doesn't constantly skip to useless or rarely useful settings is very annoying. Quote

To me, this feels like a regression in the 2.6 Beta rather than an enhancement because it prevents transforms from working correctly, e.g., rotation around the centre of a cropped image. The 2.5.7 behaviour makes far more sense so hopefully, we'll see a reversion back to the 2.5.7 behaviour in a future release... 2 hours ago, Iztok said: all spreads when set to print, normal position for most works is all pages, for print or press This is still logged under AF-353... It would make sense if custom presets remembered the Area setting but currently, they don't... Custom presets only appear to remember options set in the Advanced section of the PDF Export window...

Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 Embed default- The application itself warns that the embedded profile takes up too much space and makes a heavy file, so by this very logic, the default link setting should definitely not be embed and once again if I set a link, the program should simply remember it and the same applies to all other settings. This would make it much easier for individual users to work with the program and reduce errors, but you have to be constantly aware of things that should not burden you. Transform inage default settings - disproportionate - 3 people from 1000 - In twenty years of designing, I have never deformed a single image because it is completely unprofessional, so this justification is frivolous for a professional program, for that we have the Crop function.

Change your preset to Prefer Linked and then use the Save and Overwrite Current Preset option. Then every time you select that preset it will default to Prefer Linked...

Iztok Posted February 4 Author Posted February 4 I understand, but why do you insist on a bad solution, now everyone has to adjust their own settings, which are poorly set and do not represent any logical settings for the vast majority of users? Why are they the exact opposite of the reasonable and most frequently used ones, believe me, Adobe has thoroughly rethought the basic settings so that they do not tire users with additional parts, but that the program already remembers the last settings is the basic logic of a good program for users. Now most users will do something for which there is no need. IF you do not all do a survey, my experience tells me this and my 20 years of working in InDesign. Publisher has some good advantages, but such illogical settings only disrupt the user experience. Simple is basic. Anyway, thanks for all the help, I just want to help with my experience to make the program better and point out things that immediately bother me as a user. I practically didn't need a manual with InDesign because it was so logical, so I'm immediately distracted by things that are unnecessary, time-consuming, and annoying. Quote
