Reply To: I can't save as pdf and save pdf as postscript

Hi Jongware, thank you for your answer.

I know this subject has been dicussed here before. I still keep the routine of distilling my files firstly because I am following my printer instructions and secondly because I try to be as cautious as I can with some files I have to deliver directly to the client and can't talk to the printer. I know this is not the best practice but it happens every now and then.

Actually, my main concern isn't exporting pdfs from Indesign but saving them directly from Illustrator. I can't explain the reasons for that because it is too advanced for me but some printers say they cannot be trusted and won't accept them.

Maybe my problem is not only or exactly Indesign related but, to be honest with you, I was hoping someone here could help me. I usually work with Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop together. You probably do the same, right?

Thank you!
