    Can I work with a client using CS4 ME on a book containing Hebrew

    E Diane King Community Member

      I have a potential job working on a large book layout that includes a tremendous amount of Hebrew and Greek. The client has already started the book in his Indesign CS4 ME and says that I would need to also have ME so that I can work on the book as well. This appears to be a deal breaker because I can't afford the $1000 it would take for me to buy ME, nor am I likely to use it for any other job.  If I have the regular CS4 suite, can I work on his book, if he does the Hebrew on his ME copy? Will my Indesign properly work with the Hebrew text if it was typeset in the ME version? He sent me a sample of the book, and I've opened it in CS4 with no problem, but I've never worked with Middle Eastern languages, so I don't know what to look for to see if it's messing up.

       

      Advice from someone who works with these languages would be very much appreciated. I seem to recall a discussion thread long ago having to do with language plugins for the standard InDesign. Was something ever done with that? I need to know if I can take this job or not.
