I noticed that AdAge recently changed its font, which I really like. Does anyone know if the new font is a typeface or was it custom drawn? If it was the former, what font is this? Thanks!

How do you save a rotated PDF in Acrobat Pro DC using Mac OS 10.12.6? I tried opening the PDF, rotating it, and then saving it as another file name, but that doesn't work.

Wow! I had no idea this was possible. Thanks for cluing me in. FWIW, in Acrobat DC you simply select View > Tools > Export PDF > Open, and select what you want to extract.

Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity, what is the built-in command? I'm really curious to see how this is done. Would flattening the images before a PDF is created make extracting individual images more difficult?

I just found out that a local online newspaper used an image I created in one of their ads–without permission. The only way they could have obtained the image is from a downloadable PDF of the ad. The ad was originally created in InDesign with placed Photoshop and Illustrator images. Quite frankly, I'm not too concerned about them stealing the image, but what perplexes me is how were they able to remove the placed Illustrator images that were on top of the Photoshop image with just a PDF? Also is there something I need to be doing to my PDFs to prevent others from reusing my work?

Actually, it's a printed image inside of a real medal. Here's an example, provide by the medal supplier. Actually, maybe too much gold would be overkill. I like the way the Department of Education logo comes off in this example, with just a touch of flat gold and a 2D image.

I'm designing a finishers medal and I want to simulate a gold effect in Illustrator CC on type and a logo. I read the best way to do this is with gold swatches. Where's a reputable place to obtain professionally produced gold Illustrator swatches? Also, does anyone have any links to a good tutorial that covers this topic? Thanks!

Is anyone else experiencing a keyboard delay with InDesign CC 2017.1, Build 12.1.0.56? For some reason, I'm having a real problem with this. I know it's not my keyboard or OS because I'm not having a problem with any of my other apps. I've tried resetting InDesign's preferences and restarting my Mac, but that didn't help. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Wow! Lots of great info here. Thanks guys. Yes, I do have a proportion wheel, but I haven't used it in years. And yes, I've seen Nigel's course, but I probably need to revisit that. Thanks again folks. I appreciate your help.

Thanks Buck. Yes, I know about that and I use that feature all the time. I just spent a few weeks working on a new website so I think I may be stuck on aspect ratios because of that. Anyway, I ended up using image sizes that fit the page format of the brochure instead. Thanks for your help.

I'm designing a new brochure and I'm looking for a good aspect ratio calculator to ensure that my images are consistent. Everything I've found online is for screen projects and uses pixels. I need a calculator that uses inches. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

Thanks Bill. I did read through that publication, but it seemed a little vague regarding printed envelopes. For example, I know that printing a solid color on an envelope is permitted, because I've seen companies like AMEX, Geico, and others do that. Some even used photos. But, according to the USPS publication you referenced, there must be a 30% PRD (Print Reflectance Difference). How would one measure the PRD? Does any part of the envelope need to be completely free of printing?

I'm designing a monarch style envelope. My printer is printing the flat sheets and then having them converted into envelopes, which means I'll be able to bleed the design across the folds. Cool! Does anyone know what the USPS guidelines are regarding this kind of printing? Will I need to keep certain areas white for USPS automated processing? Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I love my LG 34UM95. And even if I wanted a similarly sized Eizo monitor, I really couldn't afford it. As you probably know, Epson papers tend to be more neutral in terms of shade, which makes sense in terms of color accuracy. But most printers tend to use house stocks that are loaded with optical brighteners, which gives everything a blueish cast. Since paper white is my reference point, does it make sense to select in-house proofing papers that are similar in shade to what my printers use? Also, do you have any experience with Red River Paper? I've heard they have really nice inkjet papers, including papers that have inkjet coating on both sides, which would be great for proofing brochures and other two-sided projects.

Thanks for your advice D Fosse. While I totally get what you're saying, the reason I'm going through this color calibration exercise is because I tend to use a variety of commercial printers (both online and locally) and I want to make sure what I see on my display matches, as close as possible, the printed pieces they produce. I do understand that there may be some color variance, especially with larger online printers that gang jobs, but my goal is to try to get as close as possible to limit any surprises (i.e. brochures being too dark or saturated.) To further complicate matters, some of my clients prefer printed proofs. So now I've added yet another variable into the process by using our in-house Epson printer to simulate a brochure that will ultimately be printed on a much more advanced and expensive commercial or digital printing press.

I just installed a ColorMunki Photo to help with color control for commercially printed projects, like business cards, letterhead, brochures, posters, etc. I followed Jeff Lazell's YouTube video and I believe I have everything setup properly. As Jeff suggested, I used the Advanced display settings and selected a 120 luminance and a D65 target white point. In order to achieve the 120 luminance, I had to reduce my LH 34UM95 monitor's brightness from 100 to 35. To me, that seemed rather extreme. In terms of brightness, my work environment is not stable. Due to several large windows, my office is very bright during the day and much lighter in the evening. I'm wondering if I should have set the ColorMunki Photo to adjust automatically for ambient light conditions. Although my display and printed output seems to match, my display is now extremely dull, especially during the day. This makes it a little uncomfortable to use. I've read some articles that suggest that I'll get used to the lower brightness over time. Then I read this article, which suggest that the brightness be set from 90-120 cd/m2 for print and 200 cd/m2 for work that will be viewed on a monitor (i.e. websites, email blasts, social media ads, etc.). The theory is that most people who own digital devices don't calibrate them, so in order to match those devices more closely it's best to stick with a higher brightness setting. So now, I'm more confused than ever. First, both X-Rite and the article seem to suggest that luminance and brightness are the same, but are they? And second, if the article is correct, do I need to setup separate display profiles for print and web work? Any suggestions or advice regarding this subject is greatly appreciated.

I need a recommendation for a wide-format (13" x 19") inexpensive proofing printer that can print InDesign CC spreads for client presentations. I'm also looking for a good two-sided paper that will work with whatever printer is recommended. All of the papers Epson offers only have coating one one side of the sheet. I've seen a product called Polar Matte, but I've never tired it. Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW, those colors beyond CMYK process colors in such printers are really necessary in order to simulate commercial printing even if you aren't using spot colors. That is because the CMYK inks in the inkjet printers don't at all match the typical offset printing inks and additional inks help in the precise color matching you need. Really? I didn't know that. Thanks! Here are the wide-format printers I'm considering. Both are 6-color printers and are within my budget. Amazon.com: Epson Artisan 1430 Wireless Color Wide-Format Inkjet Printer (C11CB53201): Electronics Amazon.com: Canon iP8720 Wireless Printer, AirPrint and Cloud Compatible: Electronics I tend to favor Epson for printers, but I'm open to either one.

Dov, I appreciate your candor. Can you recommend a good, wide-format printer I can use for proofing purposes? I'll be using it primarily for proofing InDesign projects sent to commercial printers. I have purposely avoided inkjet proofing printers with more than 4 ink cartridges because most commercial printers use CMYK presses.

I've finally had it with the poor color accuracy of my Epson WF-7520. I'm considering purchasing a ColorMunki Photo so I can finally resolve my color calibration problems. Does anyone use this device and if so how happy are you with your purchase? Also, is it Mac OS Sierra compatible? Thanks!

I need a recommendation for a good Mac (Sierra) compatible wide format proofing printer that provides fairly accurate color reproduction. I'm currently using an Epson WF-7520, but it's hit or miss in terms of color accuracy. Plus, the Mac OS drivers aren't the best. I'd like to spend $500 or less. Thanks!
