Waste of time to get decent looking online PDFs from InDesign. Turn on PDF in Adobe's clipboard past preferences, do you edits in AI then copy them to InDesign via the clipboard. So if you need those additional tools, you have to copy and paste the elements into Illustrator. But they lost sight on how its transparency should work and things like Rasterize and Keyline view were omitted. It has been too long.Īdobe Indesign was designed to become a QuarkXpress killer. InDesign drop shadows have always worked in the inverse of Illustrator's drop shadow transparency which doesn't make any sense with software coming from the same vendor and both were created from scratch (to the best of my knowledge the source code to these two apps were not bought from another company). As a stone age workaround, you can use PDF 1.3 to flatten the file, but then you face unwanted lines in the web view. Indesign's drop shadows will come out as boxes in both Dropbox and Firefox's internal PDF viewers.
Indesign CC is good with the exception that its Alpha Channel form of PDF transparency is not compatible with Firefox's builtin PDF plugin. Adobe PhotoShop CC and Illustrator CC are excellent. It's a shame that Adobe can't tame this its own wild beast. Later functionally was added for PDF forms, archiving records, printing and prepress. But ever since Acrobat 5, it's become an overly large Application that runs unacceptably slow.
Pro can do more things like make PDF forms. Apple's Preview runs circles around it and that doesn't make sense being Adobe's own Reader and file format should work flawlessly (by now).
