Actually, thought it would help if I re-typed the original question and my
follow up question, which I copied over from previous newsgroup.
* * *
We are at the latter stages of producing a colour magazine which we are
sending to the printers. We are pdf'ing the entire files ourselves (in
chunks) so we can double-check all is OK.
We have Adobe software and know the settings for cmyk etc.
One major question though. Must we convert the file (within Publisher) to
cmyk before converting to PDF in CMYK? We noticed that when we do that, all
the background colours (where used) change radically - and we are not sure
if this will be a colour change at the printer end or whether we are just
viewing it incorrectly our end.
Is it necessary to change the Publisher file to CMYK. All the images are in
RGB and we are going to convert it to CMYK in Adobe.
Secondly, I'm not sure if I know the difference between sending the
printer an Adobe file created in CMYK - or if it has to be produced via
Distiller - I don't know the difference or whether it makes a difference to
the print quality or not,
Any help would be appreciated.
I am assuming, at this stage, that I can ignore the Tools > Commercial
Printing etc. if I am transferring the Publisher file to CMYK in Adobe - I
do hope so!
Can anyone help with this?
many thanks
Chris
