![]() A big part of my job at the moment is editing errors and adjusting the format of old INDD documents and exporting them to PDFs, the company packages these printed PDFs with there products. I am the '3rd' in-house Graphic Designer to work at this company in the past 10+ years. Use-case: At the company I currently work at I'm the in-house Graphic Designer. Note sometimes entire PDFs are only a few pages anyway.ģ. The reason of wanting to do this in INDD and simply not just Acrobat is that InDesign has a lot more control for Graphic Designers than Acrobat, in terms of text settings, set styles, smart guides, creating shapes etc.Ģ. Sometimes old original PDFs dating back 5 years are keep and wished to be update and changed, but the original INDD has since been lost/deleted, being able to open these PDFS in InDesign as an editable INDD would be very handy, this conversion allowing the document being able to be edited the same way the PDF's are edited in Acrobat: changing text, images etc. It's not a lot of work to do for the conversion. And it's, most of all I would say it's really easy. If you have to do some PDF commercial and you need to get it into InDesign, it's a good way. Would you recommend PDF2DTP to other users, potential users out there? Oh, yes, I would. So, cool, so, thank you for that more in-depth look inside of the conversion process and how, in this case, PDF2DTP is, yeah, even a much better time saver than our competitor, you know, yeah, yeah. Any tool that makes us more productive is good for us. Yeah, and we're down to half the time now on this document. I would say we're down to about 50% of the time, approximately three in a month. How much time, for instance, do you think this would save you on, let's just say, this document here? I would say half the time. You, technically speaking where the differences are between PDF2ID and PDF2DTP from Markzware. We'll save even more time because we need to edit the text afterwards. The plugin from our competitor will save you time, but with our plugin, you're going to save even more time is what you're coming, what you're getting at here, obviously. I don't want that application to do it for me. And definitely, if I do it, I would do it with control. I don't really want to substitute a missing font. Then, there's the other thing, which is also really nice, which I find really nice here, is you do have this little interesting preference here where you can choose not to Substitute Missing Fonts. It's all one text frame, which makes it easier for us to work with. So, then we tried your plugin out, the PDF2DTP and this is the results from that one. For a lot of people, of course, but I can certainly imagine in your case, yeah. And you have to do this page by page for, you know. And in some other cases, I will need to relink. And I'll go on doing this, I'll go on trying to make frames. ![]() It's not the the right distance between the lines. And, as you see, stuff has happened here. It's a lot of text frames and I could go on through the document and would do the same. You see text frames and it's the same thing in the second column here, as you can see. As you can see, it's not as easy to work with as we'd like. It's very good with the images, but text-wise for us, since the text is really important, we really need to be able to edit it afterwards and to work with it afterwards. If you take out a portion of this and convert it with the plugin we had been using before, which is, as I said, it's a great plugin. It pretty much looks like a lot of the PDFs that we get from our customers. This is the original one page from the original PDF. ![]() It makes us more productive, the way your product works right now. Your product works a little bit differently than that product, which is good for us. We've been as pleased with the results of the conversions. Of course, Markzware makes the PDF2DTP for InDesign or Quark, but you also had used another PDF to InDesign converter, correct? We've used a plugin for InDesign called PDF2ID from a company called Recosoft. What your experiences are with the, yeah, different PDF Converters out there. when stuff is made in InDesign or Quark and they make it into a PDF, and they make t into a PDF, we need to make it back into an original format which is suitable. It's very good to look at, but it's not good for translation It's not good for anything. Why is a PDF to InDesign converter, yeah, attractive for you guys? Well, we have a problem and, actually, in this case, a PDF, which the customer, you know, the customer always has PDFs laying about, the documentation. ![]() The company we work in is called Kommunicera Communications, and we work mostly with translations. ![]()
