If you use Adobe PageMaker

to make sure they're ready for print! |
|
 Under
UTILITIES on the Menu Bar, choose Plug-ins and then
select the Save for Service Provider option.
|
|
 You
will see a pop-up window. Click on the button labeled
Preflight pub.If
you do not see Two Green Check Marks, then your document
has errors.
Click on the tabs at the
top to see a report of any errors. |
|
 The
Font Tab shows you uninstalled or bad fonts.
If there are font
problems, close this window and either install or
replace the bad or missing fonts. |
|
 The
Links Tab shows any problem graphic files.
Click on each file name
and note the errors in the Info Box at the bottom.
Fix all errors before
preflighting again. |
|
 When
all errors have been corrected, you will see Two Green
Checkmarks.
At this point, click on
the Package button.
You will now Save your
publication for printing.
Create a New Folder you
can find later and be sure to click on the Copy Fonts
box and select All.
If you like, click on the
Notes button. In the Notes window, you may give specific
instructions which will appear in a report when the
packaging is done. |
|
 When
done click OK and then click Save in the Save As window.
You will see an alert
window.
We do not use your fonts on other jobs, so click on the
OK button. |
|
 When
PageMaker is done packaging, you will be taken back to
the Save for Service Provider window. Close both it and
your PageMaker document.
Now find and open the
folder you made previously for the package.
In it you will see a copy of your document, all graphics
used in the document, a folder containing all fonts
needed for the job and a report of your instructions for
the job.
This folder (and all its contents) are what you need to
give to us in order to print your job. You can either
compress this folder into one file, such as a ZIP file
(for PC) or SIT file (for MAC) for emailing or uploading
here on our web site, or send us the entire folder on a
disk.
If you have any questions while using the Save for
Service Provider plug-in, please feel to call us.
