Jordanh Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I was told that i can not put a FP plug-in on two computers without two licenses. This is a problem because my company uses a Vista PC and a OSX Mac for all different jobs. If we get a variable job that comes in on Indesign with a bunch of mac fonts, i can't open it on the vista pc that my FP is loaded on. Does anyone have advice on what i can do besides buy another license? Any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Lisa- Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Unfortunately there isn't much else you can do but purchase another license if you need Desktop to run on two different machines - especially if you need one to run on a Mac and one to run on a PC.

pmhapp Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 or you constantly de-authorize one and authorize the other one, but what that pain that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmith Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 We have not been using the non-Acrobat plugins for FusionPro since they do not seem to support transparency correctly. Instead, we generate a PDF using our own custom job options for the static elements and then add the variable data in Acrobat. Using this method, we can use FusionPro exclusively on one platform. We use the Mac OS X platform which has no problem loading native PC TrueType (.ttf) and OpenType (.otf) fonts. In the event a PC job is using PostScript fonts, we use a separate font utility to create a Mac TrueType counterpart and confirm letter spacing is the same.

LeberMac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Jordan- you can insist that all your customers use Macs! (Haha.) Really, I recommend esmith's method if you don't have the extra $500 in the budget. Works for me all the time - sometimes all we GET from the client is a PDF file...

Jordanh Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks for your help guys. What font utility would you recommend to convert the MAC fonts to PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeberMac Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks for your help guys. What font utility would you recommend to convert the MAC fonts to PC? I've used CrossFont before, and it appears to function correctly. Disclaimer: In no way do I endorse copyright infringement by duplicating fonts.
