Here are some handy guidelines to make producing your book easier, and to ensure that the finished product looks great and is
printed promptly.
1. Make sure all fonts are embedded within the PDF file. If you are using Acrobat Distiller, use the Distiller "job options" to take care of any embedded fonts. If you are exporting PDF files directly from your working application, make sure you select "embed all fonts" in the configuration dialog.
2. When making your PDF files for the book, be sure your resolution quality is at 600dpi for black and white and 300 dpi for color.
3. Make sure you have included an additional 1/8 of an inch for all pages with bleed (extend beyond the trim edge of the page), to
allow for trimming.
4. Save your PDF file under x-1a-2001 as well. This configuration is located in the properties tab.
5. You can send us your files via the following methods:
WeTransfer: wetransfer.com orders@walch.com
Dropbox: www.dropbox.com orders@walch.com
Once you have uploaded your files, we can access them from there.
As always, please feel free to email us with any questions. We are here to help you.
