[itdiscuss] mixed environment Mac and PC Adobe CS products

[Dan Barber]

The only issues I have ever had centered around differing versions, not differing platforms. As for fonts, not a big issue as long as they are installed on all PCs and Macs, though OpenType is better than TrueType if you have a choice, in my experience.

Subject: [itdiscuss] mixed environment Mac and PC Adobe CS products

This is not a Mac VS. PC question.
It is an 'Adobe CS for Mac' WITH 'Adobe CS for Windows' question. So any warring factions put away your swords :).

We're an all-Windows shop. We use Adobe CS3 and a few users have CS4 and we are going to be fully CS4 in the near future. Primarily the application used are InDesign and Photoshop.

We have a freelance designer who is using CS3 for PC currently but will be upgrading to CS4. He has inquired about moving to a Mac when he moves to CS4 and asked if we know of any issues between Mac and PC based CS4 versions and any hoops he\we may have to jump though when using the 2 platforms.

 I've read in some forums about minor font issues when using non standard fonts cross platform, but most everything we use font wise are Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, standard fonts.   Anyone have nightmare and\or success stories concerning Adobe products in mixed environments? I know a lot of people are older CS versions, but any insight with those versions in a cross-platform environment would also be helpful.
