After a couple of tests  (I have too much time on my hands, it appears), I figured it out, and have posted the fix... and it was right there in Acrobat!. Since the issue is the embedded subsets from a variable font all have the same Postscript name, the Acrobat fixup to make each font subset instance a unique name solves the situation. ... View more

"There seems to me to be something really odd about the main font" In fact, if you Google "Montserrat" and "Variable" problems, you'll get lots of hits. But, the root of the issue is that's how variable fonts work; There are only two main font outlines, in this case Thin and Thin Italic, and all the weights are variations on those two. What they should do instead is NOT use tha varaible versions and use the static versions; This will properly emebed each weight as a sepaarte instance. (small vent. I hate varaible fonts. They are worse than the old multiple master format)   ... View more

So: they are using variable fonts:  Both the Montserrat Thin and Bold are saved in the file as the base Montserrat Thin as the Postscript name. like so:   This in itself is not a problem, as they would normally be processed on a page by page basis, but imposing them by using the Print Booklet, the Postscript stream created is downloading and ALL the font isntances it sees, then Distiller is attempting to resubset, so the final PDF that's distilled becomes a mishmash mix of every weight, like so: If you Print Booklet directly to a printer (as opposed to distilling a PDF), it works fine, as the printer uses the original font instances. In addition, I tried two different imposing programs I have and it works fine with them too. So, the answer here is, without buying into an imposition program (e.g.  Quite Imposing is my fav Acrobat plugin). is to use one of the imposition scripts offered here, or even just manually make your own imposition document, place the pages accordingly, then exporting a PDF from InDesign. For a 12-pager like this that won't take much time at all.     ... View more

"Conflicting subsets can be resolved by exporting/printing with 0% subset." Not after the fact, no. This may not even have anything to do with subsets anyway. The fact that the exported booklet PDF is substituting an outline from a totally different font points to a different issue, and although I can make guesses as to why this happened (e.g. a badly converted font with an improper internal Postscript Name in one PDF being mistaken for another), the proof is in the PDFudding. ...

If you are placing PDFs from different sources, my guess is there are conflicts happening with the embedded subset, but it's hard to nail that down without seeing the files. Are there two PDFs on a particular spread that's messing up that you can share? (wither DM or otherwise).   If you place this one PDF on a new page of its own in  a new document, does it print/export properly? ... View more

Yes, there is, but it doesn't do everything required. The custom profile I made is a combination of some of these standard fixes, and can be appled to the whole document or parts of it (e.g. everything except images, or vice versa) ... View more

Very definitely. I have profiled our own presses for different paper stocks, and depending on the whiteness and surface, Blacks will appear differently when measuring Lab values off the printed sheet. ... View more

I loaded that profile and I am getting the same shift to warm blacks, but as said, if the values you see when you hover over your objects are still correct, you should be fine; you are still just getting 100K on the printed sheet.

I know this is an old thread, and i'm sure the OP has since "moved on", but the issue came up again elsewhere, so I wanted to provide an update: Bitstream's Charter was donated as an open-source model, so anyone can use and/or modify it for free. To get around the issue of the TrueType version on the Mac being wonky, I suggest replacing it with the OpenType version available here: https://practicaltypography.com/charter.html ... View more

yes, but if their Color Management policies were to Convert (without warnings), the mere act of pasting may have silently changed the pasted image (which is why I was asking what the Links panels says about the pasted image).

In addition to useing the Book function. based on what you are describing, youu can also probably use the Move Pages function (In the Pages panel) to import the pages from the individual files into another comprehensive one.  The caveat here is dealing with potential Style conflicts, but if you have designed each file similarly, it might not be too much of an issue. ...

"There may be large format printers to do CMYKOG" There are many. In fact, my own printer (an HPz3100) has even more: it has 12 inks in total, which include M (Magenta) Y (Yellow) PK (Photo Black) G (Grey) LG (Light Grey) LC (Light Cyan) LM (Magenta) R (Red - which is really more of  deep orange) G (Green) and B (Blue - richer and more vibrant than Cyan), along with a MK (Matte Black) and a GE (Gloss Enhancer). (The extra Blacks and Greys are mostly for superior full-range B&W photo printing, but are also used for full colour work) It's imperative that this be a color-managed workflow and requires RGB data to take advantage of the wider gamut. (You will notice there's actually no Cyan – Between the Blue ink and the Light Cyan ink, it covers everything a Cyan would do, so it is unnecessary.). I typically send AdobeRGB data and it's gorgeous. Also, for my design work, the extra inks allow me to print more than 90% of the Pantone library accurately, whereas a typical CMYK printer can barely handle 20%.   In these printers, the "Light" inks are there to alleviate the problem with sthe catter-dot process an ink-jet uses, as the inkjet "dots" are a fixed size, so at the light end of a color gradient (say between 0-5%) theses dots are very obvious and far apart, so the light inks "fill things in" for a much smoother result. ...

Because of the live effects, the bounding boxes for each item (the two circles and the texturizer on the band) are larger to accommodate them. Select your symbol and Expand it; that should shrink it. ... View more

Note, that when you place and Embed an image in Illustrator (say a JPG), it will store the image data uncompressed, so your options when Unembedding are either PSD or TIF in its original resolution when embedded. This in itself is good, however, any embedded image takes on the Color Space set for your document (either CMYK or RGB) using the corresponding profile in your Color Settings. e.g. if you embed an RGB image with AdobeRGB profile into a CMYK document, the image data will be converted to the CMYK profile set in your Color settings (e.g. SWOP Web Coated), and this is what will be exported when you Unembed. You will not get back the original wider gamut Adobe RGB image as it no longer exists. (This is another reason I never recommend embedding images, especially color-managed ones.) ... View more

Based on demand, I assume. That being said, the dictionaries included in InDesign are opensource dictionaries from Hunspell, so you might find a Latin or Greek dictionary there you can install.
