The precision level is key, whether it be pixels, points or mm. The default for SVG export is usually 1 (one) decimal place, which is far less precise than what Illustrator would save a vector as natively (usually 3 decimal places). The only difference between saving a file with a higher precision is the file size as the code would need to accommodate more "numbers", but SVG are basically text files and are not that heavy anyway, so it's a win/win to go at least 3-4 decimal places, which matches or exceeds the Postscript precision. ...

"Usually when SVG files are exported they'll use the units of measure of the Illustrator document. In document setup, change the units setting from Inches to Millimeters." Don't think so. Illustrator measurements are based on Postscript points no matter what, so even if the Units are set to Metric, they will always be converted to points in the writing of a SVG file, or, in reality, with no setting whatsover, which means the SVG code will default to pixels as the measurement, e.g a box 100 points x 100 points will be assumed as 100px x 100px   The more important and deciding factor is what level of precision the file is exported as. Especially for scaling, it should be at least "4" (decimal places).  ... View more

As far as using TransType, the wording in the T&C for Adobe Fonts allows conversion. To quote: (this is from the original Type 1 Font Folio T&Cs)   "2.6.4. You may convert and install the font software into another format for use in other environments, subject to the following conditions: A computer on which the converted font software is used or installed shall be considered as one of your Permitted Number of computers. Use of the font software you have converted shall be pursuant to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such converted font software may be used only for your own customary internal business or personal use and may not be distributed or transferred for any purpose, except in accordance with the Transfer section below.   When Adobe released the OpenType library  back in 2002-ish, they actually did a simple conversion themselves – no different than what TransType would do – with only a few changes or none at all, so the Glyphs and the metrics were essentially identical, and labelled them as "Std". The renaming was necessary so there would be no conflicts with the Type 1 versions. As a prepress person, we had some client-supplied files that went kerblewy because of this very issue.  Needless to say, just converting a Type 1 to OpenType without some sort of name change is not recommended because of this. Adobe DID tinker with some of the outlines and metrics in some of their Adobe Originals because they had control of their outlines, unlike those from foundries like Linotype/Monotype/Agfa, etc, but they immediately renamed them as "Pro" from the get go. ...

I have to say, as someone that does actually use OCLP (I'm using Ventura as we speak on an unsupported iMac and it's just lovely), that it may cause more problems than it solves, particularly if you try to install too new of an an OS on an old machine, especially one with not enough RAM and/or an old HDD drive... It can be glacially slow. For s&g, I tried to install Sequoia on a 2011 Mac Mini, and the experience was not fun, even though it did technically work. OCLP is not for the faint of heart, so unless one is sufficiently tech-minded, I'd suggest against it, especially if you don't keep a backup. ... View more

Sadly, there must be something about the old plugin that's doing it. I did a couple of test files using all the non-breaking space options in Quark (there are 4 of them!) saving as a version 4 Quark file since InDesign can open those directly and it converted perfectly. I don't have QXPMarkz/OmniMarkz to test newer Quark files, but If you have a bunch of these, you might consider buying it for your conversion project. ... View more

Looking at an IMDL file, it comes up as "CustomGlyph" and is indicated by a Question mark, indicating a #notdef character (i.e. U+FFFD) This bears out in a PDF of the file as is, compared to a PDF I made with the proper Acircumflex character. Unfortunately, as you have found, you can't search for an U+FFFD character, so I don't what you can do to automatically find these. (and, no, searching for CID 194 didn't work either)   ...

You could always temporarily move the INDD file into the same folder as the new location of the images, then open it.

Just to add to @Ton Frederiks ... HEX is actually RGB, just specified differently. Instead of numbers from 0 to 255, Hex defines in in hexidecimal values from 00 to FF, each color channel is 2 characters (e.g. HEX FFFFFF = FF(Red) FF(Green) FF(Blue) = 255(Red) 255(Green) 255(Blue)  ... View more

"Saving old documents as pdfs won't solve the problem of Adobe's yanking older fonts away either, since those fonts will not APPEAR correctly IN, nor PRINT correctly FROM, those very pdfs" Literally nonsense. This is completely not true. The outlines embedded in PDFs are still valid. In fact OTF PS fonts have identical outlines and hinting algorithms to their Type 1 counterparts. This is why OTF PS will list as embedded Type 1 fonts in a PDF because that is what they are! The outline technology hasn't changed nor has it beein discontinued; the file format has. I've said this several times before, OTF is more of a container format that allows fonts to be more compact and cross platform than they were before, eliminating the two-file approach of old Type 1 fonts that has been problematic since OSX appeared more han 25 years ago, and the limits thereof (limited number of glyphs possioble, etc, etc). ...

"Pretty lame illustrator can't handle a few curved lines" It's your GPU that's mis-rendering them. Illustrator is not sending anything different. This can be caused by many issues, including out of date video drivers, or more commonly an inappropriate driver (e.g. a card can have different drivers for different purposes. For instance, a NVIDIA Game Ready driver does not do as well with graphic programs as their Studio driver). CPUs generally have better rendering, but are, of course, slower. The option to use a GPU can result in faster screen draws, but at the expense of accuracy. ... View more

This is precisely the case use for BUYING a converter instead of using a service. Check out what markzware has to offer. If there's a legitimate alternative to that, I haven't heard of it. You have to remember that even the best conversion will only get you so far. There is no such thing as a 100% conversion. You will still need to massage the files to go forward in InDesign. I can tell you from experience that any online service has a cost-per-file, so for 20,000 files, you will realize that approach is not feasible. I had one done once for a large project, and the $50 I spent saved me hours and hours of work, but I doubt you'd want to do that X 20,000. As far as "need" to convert, as long as you have a computer that runs Publisher, you aren't prevented from using it just because it's retired, but if you want to future proof these files, make sure you at least have PDFs (press-res) of them before you do anything. These PDFs make invaluable reference when you have to massage the converted InDesign files, and as a PDF conversion tools get better, they could be used to reconstruct in InDesign as well.   ...
