Which graphic design workflow?
Still Creek Press is equipped to work with you in either the traditional workflow
methods (handing off to us your digital file produced in its
native application) or in the more contemporary use
of PDF file submissions. Our Mac and PC Workstations have
current software installs capable of processing just about any file
format.
What is Adobe PDF?
Adobe Systems Incorporated, creators of the Portable Document
Format, have posted an excellent brief describing PDF, accessible
via this link to
the page on their web site.
The Adobe Acrobat PDF file format can be very reliable and efficient
for submitting jobs to us. The format allows creation of
a single file package that includes all text, fonts and
graphics with optional compression and down sampling. The
resulting PDF file is optimized to minimize file size reducing storage
requirements and improving file copy/transmittal, and print times.
PDF files are platform independent and can be opened, viewed, edited
or printed on a wide variety of operating systems. A detailed
example of how to generate a PDF from your native file can be found here.
Check out our Resources section where we provide the resources necessary
to create PDF files that will process quickly and efficiently through
our printing facility.
