hi all
hope someone can help with this
I posted a similar thread some time ago and you were all helpful, especially Matt Beals. Here is the link to that thread - would have continued posting on it but guessed that you might not see it..

At the time that I posted this thread, I was confused regarding the relative merits of exporting a PDF directly from InDesign and printing to postscript first in order to distill. Matt explained carefully that there was no advantage to printing to postscript first, but I have encountered another problem.
I have continued exporting PDFs directly from InDesign with press settings supplied by our printers (moving transparency to another layer to avoid bolding and using DSC2 files for 5th colour purposes) and have had no problems until recently.
Then a file (that seemed no different from any other) started to behave weirdly when exported. The text all jumped out of place. It doesn't seem to be a font problem on my system, and it behaved the same way regardless of which machine was used to export it. It happened only with the one file - all others were fine.
Eventually I by-passed the problem the only way I could find by printing to postscript and then distilling and it looked fine and printed with no problems that I am aware of.
Has anyone got an explanation for me as to what this was all about?
thanks for any help
Karin
