Hi Jacob, AFAIK, that's what goes on behind the scenes. FM doesn't support all of the PDF (imaging) functionality, such as live transparency, and still outputs via an outdated postscript printer model (i.e. the Adobe PDF printer instance). It has to first flatten the content to be able to output the postscript. This is also why it was so difficult to get the CMYK PDFs to work properly. So, for now, EPS is still at the heart of FM.
Adobe may discourage, but, until they put the resources into FM to directly create PDFs (like all of the other Creative apps), proper EPS will be the safest and fastest route to a PDF output. ;-) Regards, Arnis On 16/4/2013 3:32 PM, Jacob Sch?ffer (Grafikhuset) wrote: > Hi Arnis, > > Is it really true that FM makes an internal PDF-> EPS conversion? > > If "true" that?s very interesting.
