Bugs in World-Ready Composer »

January 27, 2009

4 - add yours »

If you have bug reports on the underlying World-Ready Composer capabilities in Adobe Creative Suite 4 applications, log them as comments on this post, and I’ll make sure they get seen by the right people.

If you have feedback on scripts, templates, plug-ins, or my big article on the World-Ready Composer, please make comments to that post instead.

Thanks!
