Oh oh. Here we go again. #2 to Mac vs pc threads

Ugh, so glad I don't do embroidery work

Mass produced, no comparison

I like having the option of turning it on/off with ease. I scale graphics many times and don't want the stroke to change. If you watched over my shoulder or saw some of the work I received you would understand why There are times when a design has a certain stroke on multiple objects. I trace...

I think the twinkies were in there because of the myth that twinkies never go bad- they could survive an apocalypse. Not sure about why there was a big boy with the flaming burger

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fontbook-original-typeface/id448250130?mt=8 Cool ipad app and great price for this reference book. The original printed book was so expensive Had to laugh at the ratings. Someone thought they were getting all the fonts for $5.99 to use for graphic design...

See #16.

A footnote, some of the above are excusable for those that are not in the business but none of my examples were pointed towards the general public. All examples are from actual customers who are supposedly in the business as they gave me graphic/sign related company names. I provide both...

That still does not insure the file opens up correctly. Word does not warn of missing fonts for instance. What I am trying to achieve is making sure that what the customer sees and what I see are the same thing. You get fewer issues with a pdf.

Thanks, then there is no excuse on their part. I am going to start asking, politely demanding ;)

I would prefer my customers send pdf rather than docx so if they can do this themselves that would ensure that we are both looking at the same layout/design (ugh. I hate to use the term design and word files in the same sentence)

Does anyone know if the most recent versions of MS Word can save/export pages as pdf? I have an old version of MSWord that won't open docx files. So when I open newer docx files I use Open Office. OO has the capability of exporting the page to pdf but I need to know if MSWord also has this...
