rgreenidge Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm using InDesign CS4 and Acrobat 9.0 with FP 6.0P1f on the Mac. My InDesign Document is uses Paragraph and Character Styles for formatting. When I export to Acrobat the Font and paragraoh settings are not being retained. Is there any way to correct this. Thanks in advance. Richard.

Alex Marshall Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Unfortunately, there is no setting to make FusionPro exactly replicate text composition from Quark or InDesign. The thing you have to keep in mind is that FusionPro composes, or flows, text differently than QuarkXPress and InDesign do. And QuarkXPress and InDesign compose differently than each other. Neither Printable nor Quark nor Adobe have access to each others' text compositions algorithms to exactly replicate any of the other companies' text composition engines. In addition, there isn't really one "right" way of composing text; in fact, there's no universal standard or agreement on the "right" way to handle things like kerning, leading, word breaking, and countless other text composition details. So, if you have text that you're exporting from Quark or InDesign, and you make it variable, FusionPro will compose it based on a completely different set of rules than the source design tool. This is why we provide Preview functionality, so that you can see how your text will flow when it's composed by FusionPro. We do try to export as many properties of the text as we can so that we can get it as close as possible to the original, but it's never going to completely match, and there are some advanced composition features in Quark and InDesign that we simply don't support.

jbq Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 hi Alex, are you saying that even a simple font choice [light, med, bold] will not maintain? I'm having the same problem, that I NEVER had in version3,4. Exporting from InDesign cs3. I know Rayed had the same problem when he upgraded to v5. what gives? --does FP support OTF? i am not using the psuedo choices, or depending on styles. --I've been using FP for years. I just purchased the new FP, and am using a new Laptop. I've already done the usual "font tricks". Sounds like Printable is ducking the issue, which creates SUCH a time suck, to RE FORMAT the variable text fields. WHERE'S THE LOVE? jeannie q [using FP v 6.0P1f mac os10.5.8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmhapp Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 If you change the Character Style to [NONE], but retain the formatting, I think it'll work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Marshall Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 You may also want to take a look at your PDF Preset settings to ensure your template is constructed correctly when the pdf gets generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusm Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I also like to see some improvement regarding the fonts issues there is when you export from Indesign to Acrobat. To handle every variable textfield EVERY time you export a template are taking up so much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
