  Carlie81September 19, 2012

• Must Have For Serious Production

  dbarronFebruary 23, 2012

  Pros

  This functionality should have been added by Adobe years ago. Thank God for Codeline. 20 of us use this daily. It grabs the fonts, the links and packages the files like InDesign does on its own.

  Cons

  This is not a con, but a wish. If it could be a plugin instead of a separate app, it would cut out a step.

• Crashes every time on CS2 large doc

  jack_connickJune 19, 2007

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have a map that's a fairly complex doc. The program has crashed every time I go to scan the file. CS2/OSX. For $50, the idea is that this program could gather all the fonts and so forth together. I can do the simple docs myself. This is over-priced and under-written, IMHO.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using this product for several years and it does what it says. It has made the collection of my files,(fonts, images, etc) extremely easy. Also found several little extras that I was not aware when I first started using it. I use the notes function religiously, with the contact info, special instruction, etc...I have no reservations about recommending this product. Also, I have never had any bad experiences with their customer support. They have always been very helpful. This program makes it extremely easy to send large projects to my printer. LOVE IT. I have just downloaded the new version and will update my review based on the new release.

• Works great. Support not so great.

  Jesse HamiltonSeptember 6, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Says what it does, does what it says. Occasionally it will be unable to locate a link for some reason, but you can always find it manually and fix it easily. Support via the developer's message board seems to fall on deaf ears. There are a few weird things that the app does by default (Prompt you to save? Why?) that have received comments on the message board and not been addressed.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Art Files does not seem to work with illustrator CS2. If I save a file down to CS1 it works properly. I have written the developer twice with support questions but have recieved no reply.

• Very misleading...

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is very misleading. You have to manually add your Illustrator documents, one by one. Based on the description, I was under the impression that the program would scan your hard drive for all Illustrator docs and create a catalog for you. Not the case. Also, and this was addressed by someone else, it doesn't "see" EPS files and it only finds Illustrator documents that are made with version 8 or higher. I have a bunch in version 7, so the app doesn't "see" those either. This is serious! Perhaps the author would resolve these issues, and then I would be happy to re-evaluate it and submit a positive review.
