I left Pagemaker in the dust, and Quark at the starting gate, five years ago when InDesign first hit the blocks. It's a good program which interacts quite nicely with the other relatives in the Adobe family. I'm not sure you need a book. Read the following in the InDesign help file: Creating Adobe PDF Files ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Exporting a document or book to Adobe PDF Producing Adobe PDF files for a high-resolution composite workflow Preparing a document for on-screen viewing Predefined PDF presets About font embedding and substitution About PDF/X Building flexibility into Adobe PDF files About using Acrobat structure tags for PDF export The export to PDF function works really well, but if you like working with PS files, with Acrobat 6 both Mac OS X and Windows XP have a create Adobe PDF printer which works in harmony with Distiller. There are a few more settings you have to watch out for (the ID default is to only send optimized subsampling, when you really need all data), and other little nuances like this. Read the above information, and if you still feel you need a book, maybe someone else can guide you to one.

Strong in preparing PDFs for press. Be nice if it had specifics on InDesign CS, Quark 6, Illustrator CS, as well as Acrobat. Spent half a hour at Amazon without anything "clicking." The 2 books with "Professional" in the title seemed perhaps intended for the world of business rather than the world of prepress. Many titles were almost a year old; wonder if they'd have much info on the latest apps. My situation: I produce a 44-page newsprint magazine in Panther. The printing company gets PDFs from us. It's been a Quark 4 (Creo) and Distiller 5 (1.3) work flow - but I want to leave that behind. An order for Quark 6 is processing, but I've started a gradual transition to InDesign CS. I now do ads in InDesign CS and Illustrator CS with a lot of help from Photoshop 7. Up to now, I've made PDFs without knowing much about them. Now I want to control and optimize what I'm doing. Considering how non-intuitive I found the process for changing the font of text in a PDF, I need a good book... <g> Your opinions appreciated.
