Reply To: PDF export problems with CS5

Oh, yes indeed, it's nice to be able to open and work on another document – I appreciate the time-saving there, but the way the new 'background feature' was launched by Adobe was a bit odd if you look at some of the videos – they all seem to say things along the lines of 'you can carry on editing your document while you're exporting' or words to that effect. Apologies, having re-read my post, it seems I accused you of the saying same thing!

Thing thing I get a little hung up with is the Background tasks panel. I usually forget to have it open and then I try and close my document while it's still exporting only to be told I can't close it because it's exporting. Or I have the background tasks panel tucked away tidily so that I can't read it. I just think it's a all bit more clunky somehow. I do like cueing up a load of PDFs though, that's cool and like the old days when I used a watched folder to distil postscript files from QuarkXPress.

Don't even get me started on the way that selection tool changes to the direct selection tool every time I click too close to the centre of a small image!!!!! Grrr.

I think I need to have a day working in Quark, and I'm sure I'll shut up….
