PDF File Requirements
Creating PDF Files for Conversion to IJPDS
The following requirements apply to PDF files that are designated for
conversion to IJPDS:
• Use CMYK models (instead of RGB models) for all text, graphics, and
images.
• Use a print resolution that matches the resolution available at the
printing site.
• Embed all fonts.
• With text and barcodes, use 100 percent black; avoid using other
colors to achieve “rich black.”
• If the text or barcode is placed on top of a color background, do not
knock out the background color; over the color background, assign
100 percent black to the text or barcode.
• Minimize the use of JPEG images, especially logos, text, and line art,
excluding large, continuous tone JPEG images.
• For the highest quality output, use TIFF or EPS.
• The source image should be printed in 300 dpi or greater.
