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 />
First you will need to create a Postscript file from Quark and then create the PDF with Acrobat<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 />
