How to convert to a PDF File

You can load the presets from either of these Adobe applications, and once loaded into one, the presets will be active across all three:

• Adobe InDesign – File > Adobe PDF Presets > Define > Load
• Adobe Illustrator – Edit > Adobe PDF Presets > Import
• Adobe Photoshop – Edit > Adobe PDF Presets > Load

Select the job option on the desktop which you downloaded (named Eureka Crops & Bleed.joboptions) This is a standard export preset, suitable for full colour process and full colour process with spot colours, based on the Ghent Workgroup guidelines www.gwg.org
