What apps are you using to replace InDesign and Photoshop?

Tell me about it. BusinessFirst, here in Louisville, does not have an 
electronic only version. To get the electronic, you have to take the delivery 
version. So, every week when it comes it goes right into the recycling because 
I already read all the articles I wanted to see as they were released 
throughout the week. ::-(

Re: [MacGroup] Download and alarms

Jonathan, 

I use Acrobat to mark up my data at the end of the day, as you know…I’m sure 
about any of the other programs would do the same.

Where I use it the most is scanning.  For some strange reason Forbes and 
Fortune STILL do not allow download of their issues as a PDF, you can only get 
the printed version and the ePub for the iPhone or iPad…

Not what I want at all, I want each issue to be saved for years…

I’m left with taking a paper cutter and slicing off the binder (Really tough on 
some of the massive issues), then I pull out what advertising I can and use 
Acrobat to scan and run the OCR software across it so I can search for info. 
across all the past issues.  I also eliminate the advertising that is opposite 
pages I want to keep so I drastically cut the number of pages stored.

I’ve written to both publications yelling at them for being such a poor 
Corporate citizen, using our trees, the cost of ink, binding, packaging, 
shipping and mail cost and then ballooning our landfills…They must have a 
strong union contract that prohibits them providing PDF downloads as do almost 
every other financial publication out there…

So, a great software is needed to get this correct…

Re: [MacGroup] Download and alarms

[Jonathan Fletcher]

I have been using PDF Expert lately and really like it. I was using PDFPen 
before, but it was kind of clunky. PDF Expert has been rock solid for me. I 
probably depends on what specific features you use, though.

Flash is a technology whose time has come and gone. Ain’t no reason for it 
other than, um, momentum on the part of web developers. 

I still use and like InDesign and Photoshop on occasion (albeit older versions 
on an older computer), but they are gradually being replaced by other newer 
(and cheaper) tools on my main computers.

Adobe says they end production by the end of 2020…going to be a lot of 
reprogramming for many sites!!

The only thing I use is Adobe Acrobat, it’s a fantastic PDF program, does PDF 
Elements do as well?  I used to use it but it couldn’t do what I needed, but 
that was a few years ago.

It's just a panic move to let them put a sketchy third-party version of Flash 
Player on your machine. If you were on a legitimate website when the page came 
up, report it to the site, because somebody bought an ad that's scripted to do 
that.

Of course it isn’t for real. It is likely you need to update Adobe player 
because that gets updated by Adobe about twice per day, but 90 seconds is 
pretty unbelievable.

L^2

PS/ I’ve been getting by without any Adobe software for many months. It feels 
good.
