A think that DTP users hate is if loading a document in a slightly differen version will render it differently.

That works as followd: you produce a document in version X.YZ. You send it to a printer who uses X.YZA (or X.YY) to print it. Subtle differences pop up, which are not caught when proofing the final stages (which generally is more about checking all images and pages are there and everything is in color, and not about whether all line endings are still correct).

I HATED Quark Xpress for that reason. If the printer had a different dictionary, it would render using that and mess up everything. Had to send the document, fonts, dictionary and whatnot. But changing features in the software is much more dangerous!

surely if you send a PDF to the printer you dont have this problem.

(though you still need all your editors and designers working with fully completable versions)
