A GUIDE TO SUBMITTING DIGITAL ADS

Postscript settings

Critical first steps

Remember: How your Postscript file is created will determine if the job will reproduce in the newspaper properly.

Make sure you've installed the full version of Acrobat 4.0 Distiller (or higher) and Exchange on your system.
Set up your system to produce a complete postscript file that includes images, fonts, and the correct page information.
When setting up your Chooser, use the Acrobat Distiller PPD (MAC users only).
Open the desktop publishing program and choose "Page Setup". Make a custom page size that matches your document size. This will avoid extra space around the outside document.
Select "Print", using the Acrobat Distiller PPD set up for high resolution printing. Embed all fonts.
Choose the specific color information. Set printer to "Grayscale" if it's a black/white ad or "All Colors" if your ad has color. Be sure to save the Postscript file(.ps) file.
Open Acrobat Distiller to convert the Postscript file to a PDF.
