Make A PDF from a Word Mac File

Sometimes I find myself needing to make a pdf from a Word File on the Macintosh. I do not recommend making a pdf from word because when you use word files it automatically reduces the resolution of any graphics, etc. to 72 DPI, low resolution. But sometimes that may be all you have.

So today I will explain how to make a pdf out of a word file: Open your word file and hopefully all of your fonts will be loaded to match.

• Next click the File tab at the top left

• Then scroll down to select the Print tab

• At the top you will see a Printer tab Select the tab and

choose Adobe PDF 7.0 or 9.0 whichever is available to choose

• Next at the bottom left choose the PDF buttom and select

Save as a PDF tab

• Next it will ask you where you want to save it

• Now Press the Save button at the bottom right

• Now you have a high resolution PDF of a low resolution word file

Hope this helps you with word files, Have a wonderful week!

Variable Data

One of the coolest new technologies out today is Variable Data...of course we have that at Clinton Press. If you are not aware of what Variable Data is, I will give you some examples of what we can do for you and your company.

We can print your 1, 2, 3, or 4 colors and even more envelopes along with a database of mailing list. All this can be done at the exact same time. So each envelope would have a different name, address, and zip for every one. It saves time and money on printing specialized envelopes with a mailing list.

We can print different serial numbers to identify each printed piece individually. For example if you print CD covers and sell them. To prevent fraud and reselling of your licensed or copywrited item, we put variable data in special places on the piece. As it prints out the number changes on each and every one of the printed CD covers. That way you can tell if someone out there is copying your printed pieces.

The same can apply to artwork, if you are printing art and would like to identify each print by a special number, that can be done also. What if you want to send your clients a special letterhead personalized with their first names on it. That is also variable data. You can even design a notpad and have every 100 of them print a different photo and or name, logo, etc. This is a great idea for promotional items or christmas gifts for your clients.

Call Clinton Press today and talk to us about how Variable Data can help you and your company . Have a great week! Nikki
