Re: Re: More on InDesign VS Frame

The vector graphics created in InDesign and for that
matter any and all aggregated content including such
vector graphics, placed images, and text can ALL be
exported as very efficient EPS and/or PDF. Such
EPS and/or PDF is not necessarily fully editable by
Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator only guarantees to be
able to edit EPS and PDF saved by Illustrator. Tant pis
(as they say in Yiddish)!

If not, then you have too limited flexibility with the graphic (as is the case in FM now). Which brings me back to my "why bother using the built-in tools" question.
