UrbanmeisterNov 17, 2014+0I've been playing with this program for a couple of weeks now and must admit to being impressed. I left my original review in the 3 Licence Pack location but decided to publish it here as well for general info They also listen to suggestions and requests for future updates and consider those ideas for development as possible.Īll in all, I could not be happier with a software/app or the people behind the scenes!!! The customer support at iStudio is beyond great! They are prompt, thorough, and go the extra mile to offer solutions for any question asked, they respond within hours, (not days!), and are so patient, informative, and friendly. ![]() Again, as a novice to desktop publishing, I have had numerous questions, especially at the beginning of my learning. The clients have been very impressed with the end products.Īny review would be lacking without reference to the customer support provided by the developer. In addition, the recently added option of "Export Document as a Booklet" is a fabulous feature for publishing booklets for viewing on iPads and computer screens without numerous added steps. However, iStudio Publisher has allowed me to learn as I go and still prepare very professional layouts on various sizes of pages. The preparation of multipage instructional lessons consisting of photographs, graphic representations of equipment in industry, and text can be a challenge. Although it is not a drawing program, I am still able to create small icons and graphics easily with professional looking results. The software is very user friendly and intuitive, and it allows me to do everything I need to do with a very small learning curve. ![]() Several years ago, I downloaded iStudio Publisher and have been extremely pleased with it ever since. And if you ignore this advise, you will get what you justly deserve.I am a "self-teaching" desktop publisher. in an emergency, use of Illustrator to modify or extract PDF content may work, but it is definitely not something that is valid use in a generalized PDF print publishing workflow for examining or otherwise editing a PDF file. And some objects in your non-Illustrator PDF may be significantly modified in ways you may not find acceptable and/or discarded.īottom line. Folks, that is a very lossy operation! Likewise, character encodings may change and may be corrupted. Thus, if your non-Illustrator PDF file has multiple color spaces, it will converted to only one color space. For example, with the exception of linked placed objects, every graphical object in a PDF file must be in the same color space. Not all PDF objects are part of the Illustrator imaging model and there are some incompatibilities. If that private Illustrator data does not exist, Adobe Illustrator attempts to interpret the PDF data and convert it into equivalent Illustrator objects. That is what is safely opened in Illustrator. When you open a PDF file in Adobe Illustrator, an attempt is made to find that private Illustrator data. ![]() When such PDF files are created, two copies of the content are put into the PDF file - the first copy is PDF content and the second content is "private Illustrator data" which represents the content as processed in Illustrator including layer information, swatches, group information, etc. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely edit are PDF files that are created by the save as PDF feature of a version of Adobe Illustrator equal or less than the version you are editing with and the "preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" option was checked when the PDF file was created. Illustrator's native file format is buried as private data inside what looks like a PDF file!!!) Some very misguided Adobe marketing folks over ten years ago wrongly trumpeted the alleged "fact" that PDF was Adobe Illustrator's native file format. (To be honest, I do understand why some people think to the contrary. Here is a post by Adobe's Dov Isaacs on the advisability of using Illustrator for this purpose:Īdobe Illustrator is not, repeat is not, repeat yet again is not a general purpose PDF editor!!!!!
