FM 9 vs. InDesign

[Alan T Litchfield]

Me too. There are couple of projects that I have thought might be  
better done in ID because of the quality of type and problems I have  
had in the past with RGB artefacts in PDFs (I do get sick of having to  
tell prepress people how to do their job). I guess it is mainly  
ignorance and lack of time to sit down and nut through the process  
that has stopped me but with where ID has gone in CS4 (will go in  
CS5?) and where FM has gone in 9 I am seeing less difference between  
the products for the kind of work I do.
