File Support
Publishing and Distribution provides basic support for these applications.

PDF and PostScript Information
The best electronic file format to use is either PDF (Portable Document Format) or PS (PostScript). Using the Adobe PostScript driver, you can create a print file as easy as printing to your local printer. For additional information on creating PostScript files, contact your customer service representative.
 
Adobe PostScript drivers (for creating print files)
Please check with your IT Department before downloading and/or installing printer drivers.

Using Adobe Acrobat
If you are using Acrobat Distiller to create a press- or print-ready PDF, there are customized distiller settings you can use. Download this self extracting compressed file and extract two files: 
    
     stateprep4.joboptions -- for Acrobat 4.0
     stateprep5.joboptions -- for Acrobat 5.0

Place the appropriate file in your Distiller Settings folder by following one of the paths below (may vary depending on your system):
 
Windows
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Distillr\Settings
 
Macintosh
Place in your settings folder, located in the Distiller folder, located in the Acrobat 5 folder.
