Been using AP8.0,8.1rev1,2,3etc. and keep getting burned when it flattens.
It's not working very well.
Users beware !

What are you trying to flatten?

just got 8.1 rev4 and seems to be working better.

Files flatten when printing a ps file.

It's getting better, but it's still not Correct!

i also hate how they changed that if i select a shape and call up the "shape" dialogue, it doesn't automatically fill in the settings, i have to reselect it.

also if i go to create a shape, i call up the box and settings aren't all at 0.
maybe its in the prefs, i don't think so though.

Notice how it adds a load of time to the print time (far greater proportion than in AI). Most of the time it's just not worth the hassle. Flatten it in AI before you bring it in. Had loads of problems with long-winded printing from Artpro since it was introduced. It still needs a lot of work to make it squeaky clean.
