What is the
best file format to send to Fineline?
PDF is the best format to send us to print. They require
no additional files to be supplied, and if created correctly,
will print exactly as you saw it on your screen, unlike
other file formats like word .doc's and publisher .pub's.
Why can't you just use my Word document?
Word documents gather a whole lot of settings that relate
directly to the printer that your computer has chosen as
a default . Once you take that Word document off your computer
and onto ours, it 'goes looking' for the new default printer
and sets things up according to that printer's defaults.
This could mean things like your margins change slightly,
the space between each letter can change, and these things
will cause your entire layout to reflow, causing it to look
different to how you saw it on screen.
So how do I make a pdf?
You can print the file to distiller, if you have it, or
you can use pdf writer, or pdf maker.
To print to distiller or pdf writer.
Before you create the pdf, you need to set distiller or
pdf writer as your printer default. Ideally, you would make
distiller/pdf writer your default printer before you create
the document. That way, when you go to create the pdf file
nothing will change because you change the printer default.
To change the printer default;
- Go to Start > Settings > Printers.
- Right-click Acrobat PDFWriter or Acrobat Distiller,
and then choose Set As Default from the pop-up menu.
If you do this after you create the document, you need
to check through and make sure nothing has moved or changed,
and if it has, you need to make the changes required to
make the document as you want it.
To create a PDF File in Word using distiller or PDFWriter
- Go to File > Print.
- Select Acrobat PDFWriter or Acrobat Distiller from
the Printer Name pop-up menu.
- In the Print dialog box, select any printing options
you want to use.
- Click OK, specify a filename and location for the PDF
file.
It is important that you open your pdf file once it is
created and check it against your original document. We
can't edit your pdf, so if something is wrong you need to
amend and recreate before you send it to us.
To create a PDF file in Word PDFMaker, either;
- Go to File > Create Adobe PDF, or
- Click the PDFMaker icon on the Word toolbar.
If you have trouble creating a pdf file, you can download
some free software that is easy to use at http://www.primopdf.com |
