Adobe PDF is by far the best file format to supply your artwork. Avoid common print problems by saving your PDF specifically for Eureka’s press settings.
The premium tool for creating print-ready PDF files, is Adobe Acrobat Pro, which is also available to users of Adobe Creative Cloud software.
We recommend using the built-in Save to PDF for Mac users, and for Windows users, PrimoPDF which is a free download. This will install a printer on your computer called PrimoPDF.
If you are using Primo PDF, skips the other steps outlined on this page, and follow these instructions:
Once downloaded and installed, print your file to PrimoPDF from whichever application you are using, and choose the Press Quality settings.
Download the Be Effective PDF Preset for Adobe, and expand the ZIP file to your desktop. This preset will save PDF’s with crop marks, bleed and colour profiles.
You can load the presets into either of these Adobe applications, and once loaded into one, the presets will be active across all three applications:
Adobe InDesign
File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define > Load
Adobe Illustrator
Edit > Adobe PDF Presets > Import
Adobe Photoshop
Edit > Adobe PDF Presets > Load
Select the job option which you downloaded on your desktop, named Be Effective Settings.joboptions
This is a standard export preset, suitable for full colour process and full colour process with spot colours, based on the Ghent Workgroup guidelines www.gwg.org
