CS3 Bugs?

[lotro]

I was having four colour separation issues too, then I allowed for "in-rip" separations and since then it's been fine.

The problem I have now is that from time to time a pdf will crap out when printing to the imager, what we get is a low-res mirror image of the page, separated on all plates.

Seems to be exclusive to CS3, when we try it from an older machine, works fine.

Anyone else see that?

(Oh - OSX.4.10; Mac pro, Harlequin RIP 7.1 to ECRM film imagers)

The only bugs I've found on my DP Miror Door G4 and a new Dual Core iMac (not the silver one last weeks model ) are as follows
InDesign CS3

The view quality doesn't always change when High Quality preview is selected.

When using tables rigth clicking on a row doesn't always bring up the table editing options. Very frusrating.

There's something else I've found too but can't remember it.
I haven't had any printing issues though, we export to PDF then drop the PDFs into hotfolders where our HQ Rips process them from.

Hello all. This is my first post, so i am a newbie but not a newbie in prepress!. I have recently upgraded to CS3 Creative Suite. I installed it on a Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5

I have found that certain images on a PDF placed on the InDesign page would not print. It is missing on the Negatives. I had to use my older version (CS) to print out. I tried this many times, even reinstalling CS3 but to no avail.

Most of the PDF's is dropped into a hot folder and automatically rips to imagesetter

I haven't heard anyone else has this problem. But thats my issue I have with InDesign CS3. I do not have problem with any other application from the Suite.

Anyone having any problems with unexplained offsets with Postscript pages out of Indy CS3? Haven't had time to back track it yet, but up to 30mm vertical offset on pages in PREPS, so far unexplained. have triple checked the Print Dialogue. Nothing apparent there. next step is to .inx a few pages and test them.

Postscript is a dead file format. CS3 has way to many features that postscript doesn't support, so why use it? PDF is the way to go...

Fair point almaink. We're currently wedded to our PScript route a bit. Will need to start embracing PDF export, I know. But still a bit premature to feel as though you HAVE to do it because PScript isn't working properly.
There are numerous similar probs in a parallel thread, so people are having some difficulities. BTW, it seems CS3 exported PDFs aren't entirely problem free either, though probably less so.
But dontcha hate the first 6 months of a major software upgrade anyway!?

I have to agree with Almaink here. If you're still wedded to postscript I'd consider sticking with CS2. I think it's only going to get worse for postscript from this point forward...Quark still likes it though.

OK, OK, I hear ya! Also I guess once Print Engine-capable RIPs start to come in PostScript is REALLY dead.
