I think not allowing people to embed fonts may actually encourage piracy. If someone doesn’t want to outline their fonts, they might give the font files to their client or printer so their documents can be viewed properly. It’s much better to allow embedding .

Is anyone else getting an error with the LinkExport script? I can’t seem to get it to work on my Windows XP SP2 with CS3. Great idea, though. I’m very open to suggestions!

The answer is- via TextEdit! Here’s how: make a dummy text file with placeholder text and assign all your colors to at least one character of text. Save as RTF (default setting) and go back to InDesign. Place the RTF, and all your colors are added to the swatch palette! Colors picked from the Crayon picker retain their names; other colors are called “RTF..” followed by the RGB values.

Me again- about the System Color Picker. Everyone knows you can’t drag and drop from Apple’s color picker into ID. But what if you have some RGB colors already in Apple’s palette that you need to get into ID? This happens if you use utilities like Art Directors Toolkit…

I have been trying out the demo of ColorSpecCubed, a plug-in from TripleTriangle. It automatically generates a layer with little text boxes of info about the links, and arrows that point to each link. Also of use might be Cacidi’s LiveBrowse for seeing a thumbnail of the link in the palette. (I don’t work for either of them)

You both pronounced “Melbourne” properly! Hurray!

Thanks for the printlinks folder, but I just wanted to remind everyone that when you package a document, the information file that is created in the packaged folder lists all the links. I used that for a list of links for a document recently.

Branislav, I should have been more clear: The new search feature is not yet turned on for this site. We are still working on it. Soon!

I have tried the new Search feature but it does not show all the found things. I type my name, dozens of links should appear, but only a few do.

>Branislav, thank you for reminding me of Steve’s post! I had forgotten that one.

Maybe it’s because you just turned 50.
