Print Publishing

One of the print delivery challenges clients face arises when shops can't open files in their native formats because they lack the program used to create the document. While most professional shops have common programs like the Microsoft Office suite and Adobe PhotoShop installed, there are plenty of specialized document creation programs that aren't all that common. In these cases, it is standard practice to convert files to the PDF format, which is used as the default.

To do this, a document delivery conversion engine is used. Popular examples of these programs include Adobe Distiller, Jobready and Ghostscript. These programs take Microsoft Word, CorelDraw, InDesign and PhotoShop files, or files in any other format, and turn them into post-script files. These are then converted to PDF formats for delivery to the printer, which reads them and completes the job.

Yet, sometimes even this doesn't solve all the publishing dilemmas. It often happens that users have customized fonts, color capabilities and document formatting options available on their machines that don't quite line up with those available at the print shop. This results in inconsistencies that can be laborious to correct. Special drivers that create an interface between the user's computer and the printer's equipment overcome these challenges, but they come with a steep price tag. Or, at least, they did.
