PDFs

If you wish to supply your artwork as PDFs, please see the note at the bottom of the page.

Each download contains a template for QuarkXPress 4, Adobe InDesign CS, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and a PDF guide. SIT files require Aladdin Stuffit Expander, ZIP files require WinZIP and PDFs require Adobe Acrobat Reader.

QuarkXPress Users
We can accept QuarkXPress 4, 5 and 6 documents. Please do not use the "Export to PDF" feature. See below.

Adobe InDesign
We can accept Adobe InDesign 1, 2 and CS documents.Please do not use the "Export to PDF" feature. See below.

Adobe Illustrator
Please flatten your artwork and save your artwork in EPS format, with fonts embedded. If possible, import your EPS into the QuarkXPress template provided.

Adobe Photoshop
Please flatten your artwork and save your artwork in EPS or TIFF format. If possible, import your file into the QuarkXPress template provided.

Other software
Download the relevant PDF(s) from above, and use the measurements shown within it to create your artwork to the correct size. Most design software will have an "Export" function. If available, choose EPS format. Ensure that all graphics and fonts are embedded. If EPS is not available, choose TIFF (300 dpi CMYK) or JPEG (300 dpi CMYK high quality). Your software's user guide should contain helpful advice.

Supplying PDFs
Some applications will allow you to "export as a PDF". Please avoid this option, as it may generate poor quality data. Instead, a PostScript file should be created and converted to PDF using Adobe Acrobat Distiller (use "Optimise for Press" settings). Please note that the final PDF document MUST be the same size as the original template document.
