Hooray for progress! (Now I just hope the next “progress” update doesn’t break this hack again.)īy flattening, some fonts don’t convert out as they do in illustrator – after checking pdf in AcrobatPro, I saw that some fonts came chunky and not curved so I opened the converted and the unconverted pdf in AI – the converted one shows the same chunkiness as Acrobat, but unconverted pdf when converted in AI converts those same fonts just fine… here’s the preview That means that as long as you have the newest versions, you can just put any transparent object on the spread (or master page) and InDesign flattens the whole enchilada with your custom flattener preset… and your text is converted to outlines in the output. Not only that, but it’s even working the way it did back in CS4 again! Now, for the good news: In InDesign CS5 version 7.0.4 and CS5.5 version 7.5.2 (the newest updates to both versions as of this writing), it appears to be fixed again. Some bug crept in that seems to literally disable the Convert Text to Outlines feature upon export. Unfortunately, while this appeared to work in CS5 for a while, some free update along the way seems broke it again! In CS5.5, it remained broken. Thus, if on your master page, you were to create in the page margin a text frame with a 0.1pt period with a 0.5% black tint and overlay that with a very small polygon filled 100%K with opacity of 0.1%, you would force a condition that would cause the Convert All Text to Outlines to kick in, providing the “desired” results. What you need to do is force some text, no matter how small or how ridiculously colored, into a situation that actually requires flattening. The new update follows the same steps with one exception: In step two, you need to ensure that the transparency you put on the page isn’t just any transparent object, but rather a transparent object that interacts with some text.
