  • Looking for some avice on PDF’s please?

    Posted by Matt Rhoades on 16 March 2011 at 08:02

    Hey all. I’m needing some advice on presenting design work through pdfs. I usually send clients a jpeg at 200dpi then send as a pdf which has never been a problem. The previous company could send 3 or 4 designs in one pdf. Could you advise me on how to do this please as i’m a bit stuck. I’m using corel x4.

    Many thanks in anticipation

    Matt

    I think you will need Adobe Acrobat or a program like Cute PDF to combine files in to one PDF.

    Put each design on a different page within the same file in X4, when you publish to pdf you will get a 4 page pdf OR use Cutepdf/Acrobat or similar, print to the pdf print driver and within print preview in Draw make it 2up and 2 down or however many pages you have. These will then all go on one page.

    In Corel X4 you have Publish To PDF, I suspect you already use this.

    There is a drop down box when using this to specify PrePress/Email/Document for Distribution, have a play with them before buying any other software.

    Thanks for the replies. I "publish to pdf" through corel now, but i need to reduce the file sizes down to about 200-400kb without being pixelated. Some of the artwork contain hi-res images. And the client cannot receive jpegs.

    Many thanks

    when you publish to pdf, go to settings then objects, there is a slider there that reduces the quality of your images giving you a lower res file
