Rant of the day

[Bobby H]

Isn't this "on" by default? I had checked in my VM of CS6 and it's ticked. I have never once messed with it, that's what leads me to that conclusion, now that my be a different story with CC, that I couldn't comment on.

The setting "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities" is checked "on" by default in Illustrator CC as part of the default Adobe PDF Preset. Users can change any of the options. Certain setting get changed when saving under a different PDF Preset, such as the "smallest file size" preset.

A couple of weeks ago had someone send me an indesign file. Of course it imported all messed up and they replied "I don't know of any printer out there that doesn't use indesign, you are the first". I was like wow....

What application were you using to import the .INDD file?

and when you ask to send as pdf they reply "how do I do that?"

Depending on the application being used to import the artwork a PDF from the client might not do any better. I routinely see CorelDRAW barf up glitches when trying to import PDF files generated from Adobe Illustrator or InDesign. Sometimes the same kind of mess can happen going the Corel>AI direction as well.
