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.
#Convert from publisher to indesign update
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. And if you ignore this advise, you will get what you justly deserve.1.
#Convert from publisher to indesign pdf
in an emergency, use of Illustrator to modify or extract PDF content may work, but it is definitely not something that is valid use in a generalized PDF print publishing workflow for examining or otherwise editing a PDF file. And some objects in your non-Illustrator PDF may be significantly modified in ways you may not find acceptable and/or discarded.īottom line. Folks, that is a very lossy operation! Likewise, character encodings may change and may be corrupted. Thus, if your non-Illustrator PDF file has multiple color spaces, it will converted to only one color space. For example, with the exception of linked placed objects, every graphical object in a PDF file must be in the same color space. Not all PDF objects are part of the Illustrator imaging model and there are some incompatibilities. If that private Illustrator data does not exist, Adobe Illustrator attempts to interpret the PDF data and convert it into equivalent Illustrator objects. That is what is safely opened in Illustrator. When you open a PDF file in Adobe Illustrator, an attempt is made to find that private Illustrator data. When such PDF files are created, two copies of the content are put into the PDF file - the first copy is PDF content and the second content is "private Illustrator data" which represents the content as processed in Illustrator including layer information, swatches, group information, etc. The only PDF files that Adobe Illustrator can safely edit are PDF files that are created by the save as PDF feature of a version of Adobe Illustrator equal or less than the version you are editing with and the "preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" option was checked when the PDF file was created. Illustrator's native file format is buried as private data inside what looks like a PDF file!!!) Some very misguided Adobe marketing folks over ten years ago wrongly trumpeted the alleged "fact" that PDF was Adobe Illustrator's native file format. (To be honest, I do understand why some people think to the contrary. Here is a post by Adobe's Dov Isaacs on the advisability of using Illustrator for this purpose:Īdobe Illustrator is not, repeat is not, repeat yet again is not a general purpose PDF editor!!!!!
