Sensible design tips #3

When I send you a proof, please uncheck 'fit to printable area' before printing out. If you don't uncheck this, your proof will not be the correct size and you will no doubt come back to me and tell me that the logo at the top of your letterhead needs to be nearer the top, or the text needs to be nearer the bottom. And depending on your printer, these differences could be fairly significant.

Uncheck 'fit to printable area'!

Also, while we're on about PDFs; please make sure that Overprint preview is selected. With all the fancy effects and stylish transparency that I will no doubt include in your proof, we would hope that you could at least view it correctly on screen.

Yes, Adobe should make this a default setting, but for some reason they don't.
