      InDesign's direct PDF export is the preferred workflow.




I was using direct pdf-export without encountering any problems until we switched to CS3 version, in which our designers started using effects extensively. That's when troubles with pdf-export began:
some objects, with an effect applied, looked in pdf-file totally differently then in InDesign document,
some of the objects were loosing their applied effects during direct pdf-export. But this didn’t happen when I created pdf-files with Distiller, so I had to remake my ‘Export each page to PDF-file’ into ‘Print each page to PS-file’. BTW my testing showed that it takes the same time to make a pdf-file by first creating PS-file and then distilling it as by exporting it directly. I wonder if anybody experienced the same problems or I’m the only one out of luck.
