Reply To: gathering doc information

Hi Gert

Couldn’t really answer without bluffing … :) but, perhaps, maybe: if it’s anything similar to what Ventura is doing when it says the same thing “Analysing Document” when it readies itself to send everything to the printer. e.g., looking at each and every element on each page, getting ready to render it and hand it over to the print engine in some logical sequence.

That’s what Ventura is doing … perhaps … that’s what InDesign does too?

OTOH … we are talking about a program created by the inventors of Postscript and PDF … I’d be surprised if it had much ‘thinking’ to do prior to converting to PDF/PRN.

BTW … I like the ‘old school’ of making a PRN and distilling it. Mind you … recently the project I did I finally broke the mould (mold?) and went the Export to PDF route – wow … was I impressed! But … I still love Distiller. How can you not love Distiller, eh?! (don’t know why … I think it’s like an old pair of shoes … you just can’t toss them away!). :)
