Editable Print List

[stu_eyecandie@adobeforums.com]

Just wondered if anyone could help me.

I have created a Price List in Indesign CS2 for a client, and they would like to be able to edit the prices in acrobat Pro and then compress the file and send it onto their customers - as and when the prices change.

I am having real problems doing this, is this possible?

I just wondered if somebody could talk me through the correct way to export the pdf from indesign so the text can be edited in Acrobat, then exported again in acrobat so the text cannot be edited by anyone else.

Many thanks in advance

I think the correct way to do this is to create the PDF as you normally would, making sure the fonts are all embedded (but not subset).

Your customer would then need the full version of Acrobat Professional and they would also need to have the fonts used supplied to them so they could then load them into their system. I would also suggest that they get the the plug-in Pitstop Professional to add to their copy of Acrobat. Makes type changes and other adjustments more easily.

When you design the piece try and use only Open Type Fonts or Windows Truetype fonts so that whether you work in Windows or OSX you both have access to the fonts.

Then your customer should be able to make the type changes. After they are done, then re-save the PDF with security features.
