Electronic Delivery
Digital delivery is the process of delivering ads electronically. By creating a press-ready PDF, you can deliver every element of your ad – pictures, text and fonts – in one file. Software such as QuarkXpress, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign provide the means to create postscript files used to generate PDF files.
High resolution (300dpi, CMYK) jpeg files created in Adobe Photoshop are also acceptable. Artwork supplied in other digital formats including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Powerpoint and any other format is not considered camera ready and production charges will be necessary.
PDF files are platform independent and once created can be sent using ad delivery portal such as Quickcut, Websend, YouSendIt, Hightail, Dropbox or via email.
