@Jan Moscowitz  One of the companies I worked at, actually had a Xerox Docutech and it allowed us to print booklet styles. It even allowed to saddle-stitch it with a staple in the middle (think of a small annual report!). It was pretty cool. This was a few years ago, and we would print from Adobe InDesign. Looking at your images, if it's only a 16 page document, you probably could just print as a saddle stitch. When I saw the words 'perfect bound,' right off the back, I thought you are printing an actual book (think of a paperback with a flat spine). Until, I saw the number of pages, and realize it's only 16-pages! Of course, with only 16 pages, you are eventually printing on 4 signatures (4 pages per signature) —simply, 4 pages on one sheet of paper. You could then tell the printer to saddle-stitch it, fold the paper and staple it for you.  If the page documents is 8.5" x 11", if you are doing this in-house, check to see if your printer can accept 11"x17" paper size (tabloid size). This way, you can use 1 sheet of paper, and have page 4 and 1 on one side, and Page 2 and 3 on the other side.  I did a test print on my home printer. And the 'print booklet' printed fine, on one sheet paper. I used a letter size print out for a test print on a Epson printer... so this is my set-up when I have to provide a 'blueprint' of a booklet.     File - Print Booklet     Click on Preview. For one side, page 1 (cover) and page 4 (back cover) will show. Odd number pages should always be on the right, and even number pages on the left side. This is what will show up when I print it up once I change a setting in the printer settings. Trust the setting    For my 'Home' Printer, I need to click on Print Settings. Setup. And change to paper size (Although my printer can print 13" x 19",) I elected to do my test print on letter size, 8.5" x 11". I am printing on landscape mode (second icon) for this test print I have to scale to fit to fit both pages in.    Click on Printer. Normally, I have the setting off, but for this process I have it turned on...it may give you a warning. That's ok...click OK    Under Layout is a drop-down menu. Open that and select Two-Sided printing    After selecting tw-side printer settings, I change the binding from Short-edge Binding because I want to be able to fold the paper in half and have the right-side page facing up.       Hit Print. And vøila! Printed on one sheet of paper, with 4 pages on it! Sweet!  *Note: If you are printing in house, just create a simple 4-page document as a test print. I just do simple text to speed the printing process to show you. Hope this helps!  **Note #2: Printing in-house compared to a commercial printer, will always not be the best because when you print on both sides, you may have some 'creep' when you fold the pages, in this case, you will have 4 sheets of paper folder in half which will be 8 pages. I used to have one bookmarked which I had normally used, but, I don't print as much anymore, but, you can try this one here...https://printgraphics.com.au/tools/calculator. ... View more

@Jennifer29102508g6k1 you could replace your InDesign 2024 icons in the dock with InDesign 2023 icons, so when you click to open those apps, the 2023 will open.  I have an older MacBook Pro 2013 (I just can't cut that umblical cord and get a new M3 or M4!), but because of AI in Photoshop 2024, I normally will use Photoshop 2023 (older icon is in my dock), and if I need the 2024,  will quickly look in my finder.   ...

@orysia38666244rb2b I agree with everyone, if you have the original file you can totally re-create to look so much better than what I am going to show you in a few seconds...there is a few different ways, but I personally would NOT do it because it isn't professional looking. It would look so much better 'portrait mode' and you could add more rows to the tables and comments section 1. Object - Fitting - Fit Content Proportionally : the content is fit proportionately and not distorting the frame in itself.  ----------- 2. Object - Fitting - Fit Content to Frame : the content is distorted to fit the frame in itself.  ---------- So, as you can see, 'yes' you can take a PDF from landscape to portrait mode in InDesign, but in this case, it definitely isn't pretty. And I 'feed' the instruction into ChatGPT, and yeah, editing the file as it suggested, it likely take longer than my guess-estimation. If I had to guess-estimate on how long to re-do it from scratch, maybe between 2-3 hours with workable fillable forms. Give or take a fewminutes here and there!  ... View more

@jonn3y can you save your file as a SVG (Scable Vector Graphic) and then importing that into a DXF converter tool that can output a cleaner DXF file for your CNC machine (see vectorFiles.png).

Go to Object > Flatten Transparency before exporting. These might be getting converted to polylines with extra lines upon export (flat.png) ... View more

@hunter.  • There is NOT a direct way to hide or disable specific fonts within the font list. I do minimize the number of recently used fonts displayed at the top of the list.

@Ljubica28475040gzy4 I use to work in pre-press, and a few things that we did was make sure the files are created as expected, and would create colour proofs (may it be a matchprint, color laminate or color overlay) for clients so they know what they will be getting (think of it as a one-off CMYK print job).  If you are using a commercial printer, double-check with them if they have colour profiles to use for your design. I know certain companies do. And so, we would have a list what goes with whom. I have never worked with clients who 'printed on cookware,' so do have a chat if they use color profiles and if they want it RGB or CMYK. Some commercial printers may accept RGB!  Check to see Illustrator and Acrobat have the same CMYK working space profile selected. This ensures consistent color interpretation within the software. (Edit > Color Settings in Illustrator). See illustrator.png and acrobat.png Embed ICC Profile. In your PDF export settings, under "Marks and Bleeds," ensure "Include ICC Profiles" is checked. This embeds the CMYK profile into the PDF, allowing printers to interpret the colors correctly. When looking at the PDF in Acrobat, use the "Output Preview" mode with the intended printing press profile selected. This simulates how the colors will appear (acrobatoutputPreview.png) If you are using pantone books, these books should be stored in a cool, dark place. Exposure to light and sun can cause the Pantone swatches in the books to fade. This can lead to inaccurate color representation. In honesty, you shouldn't be worried about using Pantone spot colors with CMYK. The color discrepancies you're seeing when exporting to PDF are likely due to color settings. (same thing when you work with RGB and convert it to CMYK. Yes, the colors would appear dull after the conversion, but it will be fine). Always do a a matchprint, color laminate or color overlay just in case, if you don't feel confortable. Better than spending thousands versus a hundred dollar or less!  I think that's all I can remember from my pre-press days. I do remember telling clients what you view on your screen could look different what you print out; and that's because unless you color calibrate your printers and monitors, the colours may look different. Hence, why if you are in a computer lab, the computer beside you will look different from the one, one may be working on. For our colour laser printers, we would literally color calibrate it every hour making sure the colours are accurate.  Hope this helps? ... View more

@Tan34583873up61  As @Chris W. Griffith has mentioned, 'XD' is in 'Maintenance Mode'...it's been like that since May 2023 I think. I notice they still do updates I guess for security reasons. Someone posted that 'XD' is no longer for new users, and that isn't correct, as my students are still able to download Xd. You just have to wait 24 hours to install it.  Many companies and businesses still use Xd and likely will do so until Xd is finally 'dead'...Figma is pretty decent. Penpot is getting better. But, it's always better to learn more now, sooner than later, because you just never know when Adobe does decide to stop it altogether and not provide any security updates.  ... View more
