There's Got to Be a Better Way

Thursday July 31, 2003
On the forum DivineMissM74 posts (I'm paraphrasing here): Doing a yellow pages directory on a Mac connected to a PC network. Current process involves building ads in Photoshop (TIF), placing in PageMaker (plus a JPG for Web), adding a Word file to a PM file that's actually a series of separate files, converting to PS then to PDF then FTPing the whole kit and caboodle to the printer. To top it all off, ads come in from customers in all kinds of formats from Word to PowerPoint. Until recently EPS wasn't an option. OK gang, thinking caps on. Any thoughts ideas about how to make this process smoother and easier!
