After a fantastic response to our 2022 User Conference, it was clear that we had to plan another event—so we did! The Typefi User Conference is back again this year, and the event is returning to North America.

This year’s Typefi User Conference will take place in Philadelphia at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar on Wednesday, September 27, 2023. There’s a lot going on at Typefi, and we have lots to show you!

We are both sad and happy to announce that Peter Kahrel, Senior Scripting Engineer at Typefi, is retiring on Friday, 28 April 2023. A global star in the InDesign scripting community—almost as big as Elvis + rock and roll—Peter has been programming InDesign with JavaScript since 2003 and has worked as a script developer at Typefi since 2010.

With the DeltaXML plug-in (v8) integration, Typefi users can license the DeltaXML compare action to their Typefi workflows to produce an .INDD or PDF file—giving them a visual comparison between two selected XML documents and data.

For many organisations, it’s important to see content changes between two XML documents. Say, for example, a Standards organisation publishes a standard and then updates it a year later. Any organisation currently working to that standard will need to know what changed between versions.

If you’ve ever worked in XML, you know that finding a particular change is like finding a needle in a haystack! With no clear visual clues to assist, you need a specialised tool.

The Portable Document Format (PDF) has come a long way since it was launched by Adobe in 1993. What started as a little-known technology to keep page layout from going wonky has now become a feature-rich format that is used by people the world over.

In 2020, Adobe estimated that there were more than 2.5 trillion PDFs in existence – that’s more than 320 PDFs for each person on Earth! In that same year, about 303 billion PDFs were opened using Adobe Document Cloud.

The PDF can offer those of us in the world of publishing and content some interesting blueprints for success. In this piece, learn more about what the development of the PDF can teach us when it comes to developing our products, driving popular appeal and soaring above competitors in the marketplace.

Every year on March 8th, along with the rest of the world, we celebrate International Women’s Day! It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women around the world, raise awareness of discrimination and take action to drive gender parity. We want a world that celebrates and values our differences.

After several years as a virtual-only event, Adobe Summit—the world’s largest digital experience conference—is finally back to an in-person format. The event will take place in Las Vegas from 21-23 March and we couldn’t be more excited to return!

This event brings together industry leaders, luminaries, and innovators across all sectors for three days of learning and sharing ideas. More than 100,000 people from around the world attended Adobe Summit 2022 and this year, the event promises to be even bigger!

Typefi is a Showcase sponsor of Adobe Summit 2023. Be sure to stop by Kiosk 1044C to see a demo of Typefi in action and grab a Typefi-branded notebook!

October was quite a month for us at Typefi.

Many of our team members spent almost three weeks on the road traveling to events, starting with the User Conference on 13 October.

And what a way to kick it off! It was incredible to finally be back in person with all of you after more than three years.

Country Head (Sri Lanka), Typefi

On November 7, 2022 Typefi’s Colombo team was proud to again support a rural school in Sri Lanka, as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. While Sri Lanka provides free education for everyone, rural and remote schools have limited access to resources compared with those in larger towns and cities. The Typefi Colombo team has chosen to concentrate their efforts to support these schools and children.

For decades, MathType EPS equations have been created using references to Type 1 fonts, also known as PostScript fonts.

On June 23, 2022, Adobe announced that they will disable support for authoring with Type 1 fonts by January 2023. Users will no longer have the ability to author content using Type 1 fonts after that time.
