What are recommended PDF specifications for office
documents and PDF files? |
For PDF files:
Most PDFs should be fine but as a guide, the following specifications will create
the best quality digital publications:
 |
Each file must be a single PDF, with pages in the correct order Single pages (not
double page spreads). |
|
|
150 DPI (dots per inch) or greater. Stallion Publishers can handle pages of even
the highest resolution. Our account manager will help you optimize pages for best
online performance.
|
|
|
Cropped to exact size (no need for cropmarks/bleed etc. which are often required
for printing).
|
|
|
Embedded fonts: Embed all fonts in PDF file. |
|
|
All pages should have the same size (Width and Height). |
|
|
Please also ensure that you have flattened any transparencies so that they appear
correctly in your publication (this is an advanced design technique that most people
won't need to worry about). |
For Office Documents:
When uploading Word, Powerpoint and other office files, please set up the page exactly
how you would if you were printing the document. For example: set the printing orientation
to portrait or landscape as desired, and if necessary, set your paper size. If you
are not sure how to do this, check the help files of the application you are using.
