A few simple choices can help your reviewers see your work clearly and leave feedback with ease. Consider the file’s resolution, fonts, and physical dimensions before creating a proof.
PageProof encrypts your file on your computer or mobile device before sending it. When a reviewer opens the proof, it’s decrypted in their browser and displayed to suit their device — from a mobile screen to a full-screen view on a desktop.
Tips for creating a clear proof
1. Use a high-resolution file
Use the highest-resolution version of your work. This helps your reviewers see the detail clearly, without having to reduce image quality to meet email attachment limits.
2. Embed your fonts
In Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, custom fonts may be replaced with default fonts if they aren’t embedded in the file. To embed them:
In Word or PowerPoint for Windows, go to File > Options > Save. Under Preserve fidelity when sharing this document or presentation, select Embed fonts in the file. The wording may vary slightly by app.
Tip
Install the PageProof add-in for Microsoft Office for easy exporting to create proofs.
3. Consider the artwork’s physical dimensions
Very large artwork can be difficult to view and navigate in a proof. For artwork wider than 2 metres, we recommend scaling it down before creating the proof. This can make zooming in and out easier for reviewers.
4. Create proofs directly from Adobe Creative Cloud
If you create work in Adobe Creative Cloud, download the PageProof add-on to create proofs directly from InDesign, Illustrator, InCopy, Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects.
