Keeping
up with trends and technology can be a full time job. It is certainly
an important part of our job at Copresco.
Overnight Lite is committed to passing along
crucial information without overwhelming you. We keep the heavy stuff
as Lite as possible, and no longer than one page per month.
So how do we stay informed ourselves? The answer is
education, and we invite you to join us at some of the events we'll be
attending soon. Educational opportunities abound in upcoming weeks for
those in the Chicago area.
Working with
Adobe's Acrobat 7 (the latest version; see story below) will be
presented jointly by Printing
Industry of Illinois/Indiana, Illinois Press Foundation and North
Shore Craftsmen Club on May 19.
This all day hands-on seminar focuses on setting
Acrobat 7 preferences and how the tools, palettes and panes work in
print production. Krispy Kremes are rumored for breakfast. See the link
below for more information.
On June 8 Chicago Book Clinic will conduct the inaugural session of CBC University, a full day of seminars on the topics most requested and most valuable to the publishing industry, including "Digital On Demand" presented by Copresco president Steve Johnson. See the link below for more information.
As
mentioned above, Adobe has now officially released Acrobat 7, the
latest version of its PDF creation software. Have you any plans to
upgrade? Or perhaps you are one of the adventurous few who have already
done so?
At Copresco we are committed to supporting your
workflow, whatever it may be, so it is important that you communicate
with us about your upgrade plans.
We are
seeking information about your use of Acrobat, of PDF files, and of the
ways you do (or don't) use these tools to create materials that will
ultimately be printed.
Whether or not you plan to adopt Acrobat 7 please
take one minute (that is all it will take) to complete the survey
by following the link below.
Your response will assure that Copresco stays
properly prepared to most effectively handle your print files. Your
opinions will also help shape future Overnight Lite articles.
Typographic
or grammatical flaws were cited by senior executives from America's
largest firms as the single most common mistake job seekers make on
their résumés. Over one-third of those surveyed faulted
these careless errors for torpedoing the chances of job applicants.
Tips to avoid such embarrassing—and
costly—proofreading mistakes are found in TechTopics No.12: How to
Avoid Proofreading Blunders, a technical bulletin from Copresco's
ongoing series.
Included
are guidelines for more effective proofreading plus a short treatise on
spell checkers. The bulletin will help anyone who is responsible for
final approval of documents for publication.
Our thanks to Bob Hall for his kind and amusing
review of TechTopics No.12 in the April issue of Quick
Printing magazine.
So when you need help printing short runs of books
or manuals, call the company with the technical know-how to get the job
done for you.
Call Copresco.

plans and opinions about Acrobat 7
