Digital delivering

Print

Since 01/01/2010 the delivery of advertisements for newspapers and magazines/ Steps has been internationaly standardised in accordance with the PDF/X Plus v4 (or Medibel+ version 7) standard (see also www.medibelplus.be). 

The entire Roularta Media Group keeps up this standard.Therefore we prefer receiving PDF/X Plus v4 files.

Minimal Software requirements for PDF creation.
- Adobe Acrobat Distiller 7
- Indesign CS2 for direct export
- QuarkXPress for direct export  

Please note that URLs are always entered as a vector (text instead of image) in the lay-out programs (QuarkXPress/InDesign). If not, it may be that they cannot be clicked in our tablet applications. 

Minimal Software requirements for PDF check and certification.
- Enfocus Pitstop Professional 9.2 
- Enfocus Pitstop Server 9.2

New naming:

Medibel + v7 MAGAZINES = MagazineAds_1v4 
(also to be used for Steps)
- joboptions for Acrobat Distiller: MagazinesAds_1v4.joboptions 
- Enfocus Pitstop preflight profile: MagazineAds_1v4.ppp
- Indesign direct export settings CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC: 
MagazineAds_1v4_IND4.joboptions  

Medibel + v7 NEWSPAPERS = NewspaperAds_1v4
- joboptions for Acrobat Distiller: NewspaperAds_1v4.joboptions 
- Enfocus Pitstop preflight profile: NewspaperAds_1v4.ppp
- Indesign direct export settings CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC: 
NewspaperAds_1v4_IND4.joboptions

Attention

these are from InDesign CS2 onward joboptions as well. Because of the central management of the joboptions, you will see them as well in Distiller 7/8/9/X/XI as in all CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC applications, but it is very important to select the correct joboptions specific for InDesign CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC and not to use those from Distiller 7/8/9/X/XI in InDesign CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC !!! 
Therefore a clear distinction in the naming of the joboptions is made: 
_1v4.joboptions = only to be used in Distiller 7/8/9/X/XI 
_1v4_IND4.joboptions = only to be used for InDesign CS2/CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC direct export.
