[itdiscuss] mixed environment Mac and PC Adobe CS products

[Logan, Steven]

We have a mixed environment here, using CS3 on both, and not run into
any problems.

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.

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.
