We strongly encourage departments to invest in the relatively low-cost Adobe Acrobat software package. Acrobat installs a printer driver, Acrobat PDFWriter, which can be used with any application. This virtual printer creates a PDF file which views and prints identically from a PC, Macintosh, or Unix computer. There are a number of options to set up initially, allowing the user to control graphics resolution and font embedding among other things. Tips for Submitting Your Electronic Job Avoid TrueType fonts whenever possible.
Postscript fonts are more reliable and produce better image quality.
Keep the number of files down to as small a number as possible. This guarantees faster turnaround time and improves job integrity. Be sure you have the correct printer drivers if you are creating Postscript files. The General Guidelines for Job Submission may be helpful to you as well. If your job requires special-order paper, please allow extra time for us to order the paper.
