InDesign bug fix ready for download
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
December 5th 2002
>From format problems to glitchy commands, v2.0.2 fixes bugs new and old
In the latest rendition of a software vendor's best efforts to overcome own its best
efforts, Adobe has released v2.0.2 of its increasingly popular InDesign print layout
app. This update addresses issues identified under v2.0.1 or left unresolved from the
app's original release.
Fixes includes:
� Compatibility -- no longer quits while launching on Mac OS X if AutoProtect is
enabled in Norton AntiVirus software.
� Undo and Quit options under X function correctly after the user drags a file from
the Finder or another application over an InDesign document window.
� Text formatting is discarded when placing M$ Excel, Word and .rtf documents if the
"retain format" option is deselected in the Place dialog box.
� Performance -- no longer interrupts while drawing objects onscreen when the space
bar shortcut is used to navigate in a document.
� Printing -- when generating PostScript from InDesign (by exporting pages as EPS
files, printing to a PostScript printer or saving as a PostScript file), if the
document contains text that interacts with transparency, the size of the PostScript
file will be reduced.
InDesign 2.0.2 requires Classic 9.1 or higher, or X.1 or higher. It can be downloaded
here.
Editor's note: Though in my opinion Adobe is one of the better companies vis-a-vis
creating solid apps and fixing them when they're not, it's a matter of no small wonder
that software vendors get away with as much as they do. The analogy of automobiles
with as many problems is instructive here.
In your opinion, who's the most egregious offender vis-a-vis buggy software and don't
just blurt M$ without some beefy examples in tow, ok?
