File Formats
PDF:
Versions 1.3, 1.4 (with no transparency), 1.5 (with no transparency, layer content, or JPEG2000 compression).
Text PDFs should be combined into one file when possible. PDF's should be created as oversized so page marks
and bleed information remain visibly contained within PDF crop box.
EPS:
EPS files should be saved as PostScript Level 3 EPS files with all fonts embedded. Adobe Illustrator
(.ai) files can be left in native application format when placed in an Adobe InDesign document. Please
do not nest EPS files within an EPS file.
TIFF:
Raster graphics should be saved in TIFF format. Tiff is a non-lossy format and will no degrade image quality.
TIFFs can be optionally saved with LZW compression. Adobe Photoshop (.psd) files can be left in native application
format when placed in Adobe InDesign documents.
JPG:
Images saved as JPG can be processed with no problem, however for best print quality maximum quality/minimal level
of compression should be selected. TIFF is a preferred raster graphic format.
PostScript:
PostScript files are acceptable is tested. All font and graphics information must be embedded in the files.
Ideally, a device independent PPD (i.e. Adobe's Distiller/PDF PPD) should be used to generate PostScript files.
In normal circumstances, PostScript files should be converted to PDFs using Victor Graphic's Adobe Distiller job
options prior to submission.
