MITCHELL PRESS ON-LINE

To shorten production cycles and to maintain the integrity of customer-supplied files, Mitchell Press works in a PDF (Portable Document File) workflow.

The advantages of the PDF workflow can be enhanced further when PDF files are created correctly at the desktop stage — before being submitted to our Prepress Department.

There are two steps in creating PDF files:


			PPDs and Printer Drivers
				Mac PPD Mac Printer Driver

				Windows PPD Windows Printer Driver
			FTP Utilities (Shareware)
				Fetch 3.0.3 for Mac OS 9
				AceFTP for Windows

writing or saving PostScript™
The print dialogue box provides the options of sending a file to a printer or to “File”. Saving a job as File creates a PostScript™ file required to create the PDF file.

You will need to download and install the appropriate PPD (Printer PostScript™ Description) file. Get files from the links on the right.

distilling the PostScript™ file
Using software called Adobe Acrobat Distiller™ (included in the commercial Adobe Acrobat™ package) the PostScript™ file is converted into a PDF file.

The PDF file created can now be viewed and printed out in Adobe Acrobat™ and then supplied to Mitchell Press.
