I'm curious about this. Is this coming from your experience as an<br>
InDesign user (like, getting unsatisfactory results) or from some<br>
technical information that you have about their implementation? In what<br>
way is it failing?<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Both.
