Platforms, Programs and Formats
Ads designed on a Macintosh platform are preferred. But PC files
will be accepted if they are saved in Mac-compatible formats.
Acceptable Formats
• PDF/X-1a or press-ready PDF with CMYK colour, embedded fonts
and minimum 300-dpi images
• EPS or Illustrator (CS5) files with embedded images at
high-quality resolution (any embedded images must be at
300 dpi or higher)
• TIFF or Photoshop files saves at 300-dpi minimum.
• InDesign 5 or below with all source files and fonts included
If submitting a PDF that has been exported from a Microsoft Office
program, it is recommended that you also submit the original Microsoft
file.
When sending EPS or Illustrator files, all type must be converted to
outlines, or rasterized in the case of Photoshop files. If you choose to
embed your fonts only, it may be necessary to use a substitute font or to
rasterize your document to prevent font issues at press.
If you are using a PC to create a PDF, EPS, Illustrator or Photoshop
file, extra caution must be taken with font usage. Since Mac and PC
fonts are not always compatible, some fonts may have to be substituted,
even if they have been included with your documents.
Method of Delivery
Advertisements must be camera-ready. APEGA does not correct or
modify artwork.
Digital, emailed files are preferred. Please see above for acceptable
formats.
