Duncan, I sympathise with your frustration, finding out such news through a forum like this
No problems - this has to be the best forum!
As replied to before, I take on Jeff Schewe's points and your own regarding the difficulties of including all tips- and you'll be pleased to know I've also got your book, and Katrin's and Bruce's- and all are( I think) silent on this issue!
I don't believe that this absolves Adobe from responsibility from issuing a download covering undocumented features, since it can only add to the power of the programme:taking batch renumbering as an example I do not understand why such a facility should be coded- and effectively hidden. It's a bit like building a house for sale that has,say, a secret extra bathroom without revealing its existence to the purchaser. It's cost you to provide it- yet the purchaser can't benefit, since he doesn't know that it's there!
Maybe you could prevail upon Adobe to let us know in some form of anything else thats be hidden away!
As for the User Guide- I always thought that it was written in Romanian, translated by an academic with a passing knowledge of the tongue, and then finally put together by someone who had never actually used the programme.
Which is why I've got the other books ( and don't let's forget Dan Margulis for a good read)
More strength to your arm
Duncan
