Can I ship the IPA and still kick your ass? How much can I mark it up before you won't buy from me?

You ship, I kick. Yes or no?

No worries Gnub, I can get it here on the east coast. You can still kick ass and drink good beer.

That's not the deal. My only reward here is that I can have it and you can't. so there. Nyah!  :drunk3:

Quote from: Earendil on June 27, 2011, 09:23:30 AMOkay... one annoyance with Indy in CS 5.5... There is no progress indicator during PDF export. You don't know when the stupid thing is finished exporting... click on the PDF and says it's corrupt. Wait a minute and try again. Eventually, it finishes and opens but it's a guessing game. I have had more than one client freak out, thinking it is not exporting until I explain it to them. WTF, Adobe?!?! Fail.


You can't see the progress which is good so you can do other things while the file is PDFing. One way for you to know when its finished PDFing is to check "View PDF after Exporting" under the General tab in the Options section of the export window. That way you won't have to keep checking to make sure the file isn't "corrupt". Hope this helps.

Actually, you can view the progress... 

/Windows/Utilities/Background Tasks.

It's been there since CS5. It will also tell you errors on export or whatever.

I've got this as part of an updated WorkSpace. When I Export, I routinely click on its button in my menus/tabs. easy to see progress. In fact, it's an improvement on having it sit across your display, like it did before.
When finished, click closed...

And a warm welcome, Indesigner.   :cool:

i just noticed that there's a progress indicator above the tool bar. export a pdf and look just below the "type" and "object" menus and you'll see a bar letting you know it's working...

They had that in v5. It's useful if you're multitasking and you're writing a big pdf and you want to close or open a new file and you need to know how much longer it's going to be.

You can't close the exporting/printing document until completion, but you can open additional files and continue working.

that thing is great - until it isn't. Big file exporting + do something else on another big file can equal sad mac face. I try to let it finish before doing something else important.

Always a good idea. If you can help it.
