  ^you make your pdfs with illustrator?! You dont use distiller?

  I always send pdfs to clients, never eps. They usually cant open an eps. Im just asking about what file formats people use internally, on their own servers. (And the reason i use EPSs is so i can just drag them on to disteller and make pdfs real quick.)

  So this makes me think of another question. Do most people make their pdfs using Distiller?

  • agreed. Thats why i keep one .eps as the 'source' file, and just make dated pdfs for the client from that one.baseline_shift
