For 75 years, Investment Dealers’ Digest has served as<br />

the trusted “insider’s guide” to investment banking and<br />

capital markets. With today’s markets posing unprecedented<br />

challenges, reliable news is more valuable than ever and<br />

IDD has responded to these challenges with a news source<br />

designed to engage and inform our expanded readership in<br />

this new financial era.<br />

IDD facilitates communications across different interest<br />

groups in the financial markets — with coverage geared<br />

toward the crucial communications between the buyside,<br />

sell-side, and issuer communities across all U.S.<br />

capital markets — including equities and all types of<br />

debt. Published on Friday, with daily online updates, IDD<br />

includes coverage from the professional journalists behind<br />

SourceMedia’s other market leading publications, including<br />

The Bond Buyer, Asset Securitization Report, and Investment<br />

Management Weekly. No other resource offers the in-depth<br />

reporting nor covers the entire spectrum of the industry<br />

as we do.<br />

IDD offers a senior-level audience of 8,000 committed and<br />

engaged readers including corporate finance officers and<br />

senior management from the municipal finance, M&A, private<br />

equity, and structured finance communities.<br />

DIgITAL & OnLInE SPECIFICATIOnS<br />

PDF Specifications<br />

We prefer to receive digital advertising files in Adobe’s PDF format created from an Adobe<br />

application using the PDF/X-1a:2001 specification. Typically, PDF files are created from Postscript<br />

files utilizing Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but PDF’s created directly from InDesign will work as well.<br />

We do NOT recommend exporting PDF files directly from your native operating system, Quark<br />

or other non-Adobe applications. The results of exporting from non-Adobe applications can be<br />

unreliable and will not meet our specifications because the profiles listed below were not used in<br />

the creation process<br />

creating PDFs from inDesign<br />

From the File –> Adobe PDF Presets menu, choose PDF/X-1a:2001. Then choose Export from the<br />

File menu.<br />

creating PDFs from Quark<br />

Distiller using the PDF/X-1a:2001 .settings.<br />

adobe Flash: We support up to Flash version 10<br />

Please include the following:<br />

n Compressed Flash file (*.swf)<br />

n A backup GIF or JPEG image file<br />

compiling your *.fla file into a *.swf file.<br />

1. Create the Flash ad in the form of a button.<br />

In the button object Action (TOP LAYER):<br />

• Use clicktag command as part of the getURL and check the URL Expression box.<br />

The clickTag variable means that you do not need to hard code a click through URL<br />

or click command into the .swf file. The clickTag variable is given a value in the Rich<br />

Media code in DART, which is passed into the clickTag variable in the .swf file once<br />

the ad is clicked on..<br />

• Set the target Window as _blank. Do not check the Window Expression box.<br />

• Set the Variables as “Don't Send.”<br />

2. Use a single click-through URL for your campaign.<br />

Button Object Action getURL example:<br />

on (release) {<br />

getURL (_level0.clickTag, "_blank");<br />

}<br />

3. All All files should begin with the same file name and may not exceed 12 characters<br />

excluding the extension name. For example, abc468x60.fla, abc.468x60.swf and<br />

abc468x60.gif<br />

4. In In order to preview the background color of your .swf file in DART for Publishers,<br />

ensure it is not set in Flash. Instead, set the bottom/last layer to have a graphic that<br />

spans the complete movie, so no matter what the background color is set to the user<br />

will always see the background color.<br />

note: When submitting a Macromedia Flash banner(s), you must supply a compiled .swf<br />

file and a standard GIF or JPEG image file used as backup for non-Rich Media enabled<br />

browsers. Please include the URL for each ad campaign.<br />

Submission information<br />

one-pixel border: SourceMedia highly recommends inserting a one-pixel border around<br />

the ads that have a white background so the user may be able distinguish it from white<br />

background areas of the site.<br />

referring Url/link and tracking: SourceMedia will not schedule any campaigns with<br />

inactive referring URL/link (destination page/site).<br />

email or FtP information: Send materials and files using the following FTP. Please use<br />

the name of the folder or the subject line of the email to specify the name of the product<br />
