If you make PDFs of your designs for client review, how much do you charge for each PDF?
We use to charge $50 for each PDF. Clients started bitchin. We now charge $25.
just curious,

Never charged for them... not half bad an idea though.

we never charged for those, but we overcharged for everything else. . . so i guess it all worked itself out. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

dude Bucky... we're gonna start charging for all the advice here pretty soon dude. But I'd be willing to trade you some advice for for scan work. can you do 400dpi at 100%?

Depends on how you work. For me - I don't like to present my work like that. I like to do it in a meeting so you have the benefit of discussion.
But when the client calls later and wants one to show around the office, I have to drop everything and make the dang thing.
I think you could justify charging in that case.

it takes like... 30 seconds to make a pdf. though i have made some in 15 seconds or less. . .
it used to be a reflex when i finished a piece. save, print, publish to pdf. but whatever works for you.

do you mean interactive pdfs Bucky? That's the only kind we charge for. The last one i did for a client was about $1555 if i remember correctly. It was a catalog (yes, i do A LOT of those) for a home development company. It was the kicky little catalog you chose which kind of carpet, wood, tile, etc you wanted.

lol lilbabyleg!
we dont charge for sending over comps as pdf's, if they want a print ready pdf making then £50.

you should include comps in the gig price. shit, comps are nothing more than a click.
i would be pissed about gettin nickle-n-dimed if i was your client.

depends on what your doing with it I guess, right like they said, 'comps' or 'final design' etc. I would say anywhere from 50 to 100
