An Adobe Acrobat PDF file can be sent to the Copy Centers for printing. PDF files are an expanded version of postscript with additional page placement and positioning information added. Creating a PDF file is similiar to taking a snapshot of the original file.
PDF files can be viewed by anyone using Acrobat Reader. If the document also needs to be distributed in another medium (Web page, e-mail) it will already be in a universal file format that can be read by anyone using Acrobat Reader.
Special settings must be used in Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF file capturing all the print and graphics detail necessary for a clear print copy at the Copy Centers.
Steps in creating PDF (Portable Document Format) files:
1. Install Adobe Acrobat 8.0 (Pro for Autocad and PDF forms, Standard for PDF only).
2. Create and save Acrobat Distiller job options for Copy Services.
3. Change the settings on the Acrobat Distiller print driver.
4. Create a PDF file using the Acrobat print driver.
5. Transmit the file to Copy Services.
For more detailed information see "Printing Digital Files", pages 2-3.
