Client FAQ: PDF... Print-Ready, or Not?


How to tell if a PDF sent to you from CDT is print-ready, or not. The way to know if the PDF is a high-res, print-ready PDF is by the file name given to the PDF. The characters “_hr” (that’s, underscore hr) are ALWAYS appended to a PDF that is high-res and print-ready, so internally it is known that the PDF is good to go to the printer/publication. If it does NOT have the “_hr” appended to the end of the file name, then the PDF is just a low-res proof and is NOT print-ready.

EXAMPLE: MyDesignProject_hr.pdf
