Many
of us have been using authors’ captured keystrokes for some time now,
but as we begin to use them in more ways, we find that the best file types
for Web viewing are not necessarily the best for printing, and when we
start working with image files, it gets even more complicated!
Re-engineering your production process to deal with the added complexities
of delivering multiple outputs is absolutely critical to success.
This
engaging seminar helped take the mystery out of file types and conversion.
Attendees learned how to decide which file types to request from authors and what
to send to vendors to make things flow more efficiently and with less
cost.
