Hi,

 

When you deliver source files for some leaflet/brochure/flyer, in what format(s) do you send your files to the client (jpg, bmp, png24, etc) ?

Depends. If they are going to get them printed I always think it's best to send them an .eps

I am assuming that this is print work and will be printed, I would provide in pdf format.

@WBC : I designed it with Photoshop (in RGB color mode).

 

@wayneded : Ok but what type of compression do you pick for the images during the PDF conversion process ?

I would go to file and save as (shift+ctrol+s) and select .pdf from the drop down, no compression needed.

I obtain a 25Mo PDF, urgh.

 

My file is a A4 leaflet, 300 dpi, 3638 px x 2551 px. I flattened my PSD then I saved as a PDF with no compression. There's no way I can send 25Mo files by email, especially in my case where I have 3 versions to provide

 

EDIT : Actually, selecting the preset [press quality] lowers to 12Mo which is manageable, so that's fine. I guess such weight is normal for a stationery file isnt'it ?

Host it and email a link.

Might be best to save the document as a JPG first and then convert the JPG to PDF.

@Renaissance-Design : yes that's what I decided to do !

 

@waynede : JPG for print ? Hmmmm .... Maybe it's reasonable if it's maximum quality JPG but I guess many people would disapprove it.
