Re: [Silgraphite-fonts] Opening PDFs generated by Graphite-aware programs in Adobe programs

[Jim B. <jim...@si...>]

I haven't used Illustrator, but I did a quick experiment with Acrobat. 
I'm using Windows 8.1, Acrobat Pro XI, XeTex, Tai Dam language text in 
the Tai Viet script, and the Tai Heritage Pro font. I opened the XeTex 
output in Acrobat. I was able to add/remove pages, highlight text, and 
edit Latin text.

When I tried to edit Tai Viet text, it became a bit problematic: My 
Keyman keyboard did not seem to function inside of Acrobat. I was able 
to paste Tai Viet characters into the text from the clipboard, but the 
Graphite rendering did not work. That is not surprising. However, I 
would never edit XeTex output in this way--I would edit the source file 
and rerun XeTex.
