Once the digital files are prepared and completed, another way to generate a press-ready PDF is to print to a PostScript® file first, and then use Acrobat Distiller® to generate the press-ready PDF file. For those of you not using Adobe® InDesign® or QuarkXpress®, printing a PostScript file and then using Acrobat Distiller with press-ready settings could be one of only a few options for generating a press-ready PDF for commercial print.

Select from the applications below for instructions on how to generate press-ready PostScript files for use with Acrobat Distiller.

• Adobe InDesign
• QuarkXpress
• Microsoft Office Publisher

Next: Print Presets & Styles, and Print as PostScript instructions.
