Delivering Adobe PDF files for print
In many cases the optimal file delivered from your clients will be
format or InDesign format that gives you complete control over the live data in the docu-
ment. At other times it will be fastest and easiest to get an Adobe PDF file directly from your
clients for printing. It's easy to create a PDF file, but ensuring all the settings are correct for
press-quality output is critical. To streamline this process and minimize the chance of errors,
you should supply your customers with a flattening preset and a PDF preset for each kind of
output you want to receive. This lets you decide how to deal with font embedding, compres-
sion levels, marks and bleeds, overprinting, and transparency flattening when necessary.
To make your job easy, start with the predefined "Press" PDF preset and only change the
necessary settings.
