-- PDF files can be submitted as long as they are high resolution, but keep in mind that we
cannot change these files if needed
-- When generating PDFs, the compression setting should have no boxes selected and in the
advanced section, select distill with prologue.ps/epilogue.ps. Also select device independent

-- Art obtained from a website is usually 72 dpi and is not appropriate for printing. Please do
not attempt to increase a 72 dpi image up to 300 dpi as it will severely compromise

they degrade in quality and should not be submitted
