CS Document for Alliance Printing |
|
|
|
-
 Open with InDesign
the (finished) document you wish to send.
- Go to: File >
Preflight
- Summary Page:
this page lists a basic summary of the errors in
your document.
If there are errors in your document which need
attention there should be a little yellow
"caution" triangle next to the problem area.
- If the
problem is in fonts, click on Fonts to the
left.
- If the
problem is in Links and Images, click on
Links and Images to the left.
- Etc.
- Fonts Page:
If you are missing any fonts you used to create
the document, please reinstall them on your
computer. After you have reinstalled the fonts,
please run this Preflight feature in InDesign
again to be sure they were found.
(hint: check the box next to "Show Problems
Only")
- Links and
Images Page: If you have misplaced an image
or images are using RGB color space, the problem
links will be displayed here. Please edit your
source files and update your links. After you
have corrected your images, please run this
Preflight feature in InDesign again to be sure
they were found.
- Colors and
Inks: You should only have the 4 process
colors listed here unless you are doing Spot
Color printing. If you are printing
grayscale/4-color jobs, please make the
appropriate color conversions to remove the spot
colors from InDesign. (Please be sure you are
using an up-to-date Pantone® color conversion
software or Pantone® color book.)
- After the above
changes are made, run the Preflight feature again to
be sure of no problems.
- When you are sure
the problems have been taken care of go to: File >
Package
- Fill out any
information necessary for us to contact you about
the document or proofs.
(preferably Name, phone, email and fax)
- Click "Continue"
- Name your document
"package folder" a name we will associate with your
company / document and save it to a spot you will
remember on your local hard drive.
- Make sure the
following checkboxes are checked:
- Copy Fonts

Graphics

Links in Package

- Click "Save" (If you
receive a "Font Alert", please click OK or

of your document elements conveniently packaged for
our prepress department.
