anyone know anything about pdf?
I normally drop a 300dpi jpeg into word and then on that have a desktop pdf which converts to a pdf, but not a hi res one…been okay with that, but now a customer has asked if I can supply the artwork as a Hi res in pdf and not snapfire…..what does that mean and how do I do it hi res???
thank you for any clues and hopefully any (free) ways of doing this.
in advance xx

If you have Corel – you can simply save your file by choosing "publish to pdf. If it’s vector art it will save as vector art. If it’s rendered – it will save at the same resolution.
Signlab is much the same.

Can’t you just send the Jpeg.
I Would definately not supply the customer with a high res copy if this is just for an artwork proof. He could take that anywhere and get your work done cheaper. If this is the case then get a deposit first or charge him for the artwork. -
If it is text or vector the resolution is of no issue. It depends on what programme you are using to generate, I’ll assume you have Corel as that is so popular. Corel has publish to pdf or if you want to use print preview options download cute pdf. Ensure all objects have the same colour model ie Pantone if spot colour work or cmyk if full colour.
Publish to pdf set to prepress if cmyk if you are using spots set the colour to native and text to curves to avoide any font issues.
If printing to Cute just print to print driver and view in Acrobat. You can either convert text to curves before you print or deselect download fonts and convert Type 1 to TT under the Postscript tab. You can import back into Draw if you want.
Basically Hi Res in printing terms (litho) can be bitmaps at no less than 300dpi finished size.

convert design to jpeg then publish to pdf, client can zoom in on detail but not distribute elsewhere to be robbed

I’m with Martin.
I’d worry why my customer would want a high resolution file.

What is needed is some sort of mechanism so that after a week or so the image will self destruct. 😮

i sent an email saying that i dont normally send hi res pdf, but as i have put faith in the job….
anyhow…what will be will be.
like that idea Phil….explode and spray them with florecent green permanent dye if they are naughty and steal the artwork…..bless em -

Is it clipped/masked find this sometimes causes problems with me printing to PDF if you can bring it to the front and try that
-
naw…doesnt work…youd think what you saw on your corel page would convert to pdf…but not the jpeg images.
-
If you simply cant save a jpg as a pdf, can you post the jpeg?
What PDF preset are you saving in? -
Ive sent them a jpeg and asked them to do it themselves!!
