    As long as you can export to the same format, it shouldn’t matter from the print shop’s perspective, no? They just see the same file they would’ve always seen.

      The way we work together is by exchanging full fresh indesing pakages that contain the main indd, the idml, a pdf, the links folder and the fonts folder so that we always have everything we need.

        Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t know anything about graphics design, just about the technology behind it.

        Why do you send all these things as separate files? Is just a rasterised or vector export of the project not enough?

        Sounds like the design world really needs a standardised container format that can contain all these separate things otherwise.
