PDF--Extreme Printing

Soderlund says that both products are important to the graphic arts market for many reasons. The new version of Acrobat removes the remaining technical obstacles for using PDF for high-end prepress, enabling its use as a primary production format; InDesign will allow one-step generation of PDF (as opposed to "going around" via PostScript and the Distiller), thereby greatly enhancing PDF's appeal as the format of choice for sending jobs from document originator to service provider.
