- Double Down(save)
Conventional wisdom holds that it is impossible to downsave an InDesign document more than one version at a time. Here’s how to get around that convention. But is it wise???
- Missing the InDesign Contact Sheet Script? Bridge to the Rescue!
When CS4 was released, like several other users, I was very dismayed to see that the InDesign Contact Sheet script was no longer included in Bridge. I couldn’t understand why such a handy feature had been left out. I know it’s practically blasphemous to say this here, but for contact sheets, InDesign is no longer [...]

- Got a new Macbook or Macbook Pro? Try gestures in CS4!
So, let’s get the shocking part out of the way first…I bought my first Mac. It’s a brand spankin’ new 13″ aluminum Macbook and it’s absolutely beautiful. I’ve owned quite a few laptops but the engineering and design that went into this puppy is quite amazing.
Now I get to write my first Mac only post. [...]

- Nasty CS4 Bug: Missing Master Items in Placed .INDD
Just when you thought Halloween was over, here comes something very scary.
Ever place an .INDD file in another one? In my experience it’s a nifty feature, at least if there aren’t a ton of links in the placed document bogging you down. But beware of using placed .INDD in CS4. A bug exists where not [...]

- Extensis Suitcase Fusion 2 and InDesign CS4
Extensis apparently will not be offering a free upgrade to Suitcase Fusion users who have upgraded to CS4. Unfortunately, if you’d like to continue using auto font activation with InDesign CS4, then you must pay for the Suitcase Fusion 2 upgrade ($49.98).
I’ve been using the previous version of Suitcase Fusion, and it appears as though [...]

There are two strange things about this.
First, the image was already greyscale, so they shouldn’t have had to convert it.
Second, the image was [...]
