I am thinking of getting Acrobat, so rather than making PDFs from Word,
Illustrator, or Photoshop (on the Mac), I could use Acrobat as a more
reliable environment for providing PDFs to the print shops.
Sharon,
You NEED Acrobat. Just get the whole Creative Suite, and while you're
shopping - get yourself a copy of PitStop. Your whole world will get
better.
I can send you some Job Options files for PDF creation that should work
for your printers. They're just some adjusted versions of the DDAP job
options (I changed things like "Embed All Fonts" - if you're going to
print DO NOT subset your fonts). The DDAP job options are great - I
think they're equivalent to PDF/X-1 (for all practical purposes).
As for dealing with Word files - PDF makes this feasible. Fonts become
a non-issue. There are pitfalls, though. Word is RGB ONLY. It does not
support CMYK. It does not support spot colors. Word assumes EVERYTHING
is sRGB. Word is also a low-resolution software. All graphics coming
from Word will be output at screen resolution. Word is not linking to
the source file - it just places a low-res proxy.
