PDF is an acceptable file format, and can be created from any of the file formats listed on this page. In addition, PDF documents automatically embed all of the fonts and images used when they are created. Thus, many find that converting a file to a PDF is a better option.

1. When creating a PDF, please make sure that your document meets ALL of the requirements as described on this page (for example, if your are creating a PDF from an Adobe Illustrator file, then refer to the instructions listed there before you save the file as a PDF).
2. Make sure that your PDF is saved as either a press quality, or a high quality print file. Saving a PDF using the smallest file size option will lower the quality of your document.
3. If you plan to create a PDF using a word processing program (i.e. WORD, EXCEL, etc) please select PDF Writer, or PDF Distiller as your printer.

1. Ensure that your document is the actual size that you want to print. Placing artwork in the centre of a large empty artboard may result in confusion between the order and the artwork.
2. Ensure all files have 3mm bleed (1/8″ or 0.125″) on all edges of the page.
3. All print ready files must be CMYK (unless they are grayscale, or they were created with Spot Colors). Any images that have not been converted over to CMYK will print with a dull or gray appearance.
4. Be sure to collect all images and fonts for output – they are not automatically embedded in the file. If you do not, they WILL NOT APPEAR on the final product.

1. Ensure that your document is the actual size that you want to print, and that the document is at least 300dpi. If it is less than 300dpi, your file may print grainy, or pixelated.
2. The file must be CMYK, and not RGB.
3. Supply the artwork as a layered file (unflattened tif, or psd file) incase there are any minor changes that need to be made. We cannot access the individual components of a JPEG, or other flattened files.

4. All spot colors must be converted to CMYK.
5. Collect all images and fonts for output. InDesign must be able to link to all the images and fonts that are used. If there are any missing fonts, or images, they WILL NOT APPEAR on the final product.
