The problem with open source fonts is that they are constantly being tinkered with and changed, so it's very important you have the same version from the same source. The version you installed from Google Fonts may not have the same metrics as the one you activate on Adobe Fonts, etc. (e.g. right now, Google is serving v3.0x of Roboto and Adobe is serving v2.0x). You also should not mix variable and static fonts, and if you ever had other versions installed in the past, you might need to purge your font caches. Variable fonts are still a loose cannon, so I usually recommend if you are not using variable fonts for very custom instances, then don't use them; use the static versions instead.  ... View more

You can't fix it. It's actually working as it should. Variable fonts are actually just ONE font (maybe two if there's Italics for certain fonts) from which all other instances are created, so they will be listed by ONLY that base font name in the PDF - In this case Commissioner-Thin. If you are not using variable fonts for custom instances and are instead using the "set" instances, you might consider downloading and using the Static versions of Commissioner (Google has them) and ditch the variable. Personally, I find variable fonts more problematic than they are worth, but that's me. 🙂     ... View more

I did a search on this and found many references to CGM from Creo Illustrate having issues. There wasn't a definitive solution anywhere I found, but there were mentions of ensuring that the CGM from Illustrate was saved with binary encoding and not text encoding. Also: the fact that CGM from other Creo products worked fine. ... View more

What version of Illustrator are you experiencing this issue with? I just checked and the CGM filter is definitely in the current version (v30), as well as the two versions before, although I don't know what CGM Profile it requires. Try save as a different Profile and/or file format (i.e. Text or Binary).   Your other option is to export as SVG or PDF? ... View more

Congrats! I myself have a Late 2015 (running Ventura through OCLP) and also anticipating a future replacement soon. That being said, unless you can successfully migrate older existing apps over, the only ones you can install now are the latest and the second-last version.  Good luck! ... View more

Soooo.. I copied those fonts from my Win11 install, and they work just fine in Illustrator  (also using FontExplorer, btw), although mine did not indicate they were OpenType as yours did.   ... View more

It also depends on the RIP. My HP has a Postscript RIP, so the data is sent to it in CMYK (if it exists) and RGB (if it  exists), and then the data is color-managed it. A non-PS printer does NOT stream CMYK data, they are RGB based, so your data is converted to RGB (usually at the driver stage) and then the printer color-manages that information.  ... View more

This IS correct. Because an inkjet's gamut is much wider than typical CMYK offset printing, even if the inkjet only has CMYK inks, ICC profile Management will change the the incoming data, be it CMYK or RGB to the color gamut of the printer, and it does this by converting it back to RGB (or LAB) so if you ae sending 100K to it, it will then find the closest match to what that printer can print to "match" what 100K would like printed on a sheet of paper. In reality, 100K on a printed sheet will not be solid Black anyway; the paper soaks a bit of ink up, so at nest you will get a dark grey. Proper color management will match that dark grey on your inkjet. If you are getting incorrect (shifted) colors, the wrong Profile is being used for the paper being used, OR the machine is out of calibration. I have a 12-ink HP z3100 and it needs to be calibrated every so often to keep it in line. Fortunately, my machine has a built in calibrator/spectophotometer so the process is pretty easy. Plus it will create its own profiles for any paper I put in it. ... View more

Back in the day, when you purchased an Upgrade (which was less expensive than a full outright brand new copy) you received software that was designated as an Upgrade version, i.e. you had to have had a previous version already installed on your computer (or have that previous version serial number) for it to install. Still, this is moot as CS6 is no longer available in any way. Your only option is to subscribe to Creative Cloud. If your hardware is not capable of running anything past CS6, you are out of luck. ... View more

Printing Black on Black would work then.   Regardless, there is no way to customize this paper color the way you want.  What you might do is create a layer that has a "dark grey" box on it that you can turn off or configure not to print. InDesign does have its Booklet printing option, and it would give you some sort of preview, but since you'd have to print your balck pages in 4 page signatures, I would just create a dummy (a small folded piece of paper into a signature and mark which pages are to be black stock, etc) ...

Literally, NO. There is no upside to doing what you're doing. There are few instances where this could be useful, like you can grab a shape and paste it in so you could use it as, say, a custom photo/text frame shape. Of course, dragging a file from the desktop into an InDesign file is different, as that invokes the Place routine to do so, so that's valid. ... View more

Generally, If you have only one line of text in a box, it will shrink the frame to the height AND width of the text. If you have more than one line of text in the paragraph (even a paragraph return), it shrinks only to the height.  If you want to purposelly fit the frame to the width, you can set autosizing. ...

Hmm...since it references idimposer, I checked their site to find it defunct with only a reference that it was taken over by Sterling Computing, whose website is also defunct. That being said, I see no reference of any version of their *paid* script (named IDImposer, by the way) past 2109, so you might be out of luck. Since your script was named MakeBookletScript, I'm wondering if someone has coopted the code, in which case you would need to find THAT person to update. ... View more

This has been a historical issue and has been covered before over the years. There's an alogorithm in InDesign that will scale certain oversize JPGs when placed, supposedly to make them easier to handle. Perhaps because most digital cameras save their images with a default 72ppi resolution in the header so would always place very huge on a page. I forget what the threshold is in pixels, but it seems to do it at certain sizes and not others. And sometimes it might even come in at something like 20%. And I recall doing a bunch of tests to find that threshold. For instance: if you had an image with a nice even number like 1000x1000 or even 1024x1024, it would scale down, but if your image was an "off" value, like 1023x1023, it wouldn't. There was no rhyme or reason to it. I'm sure we put in a user voice bug report on it at the time, but I can't find it now.   ... View more
