PDF creation software
There are many applications that can create PDF files. It is
suggested that you create the PDF file using the recommended
workflow process described in Adobe’s How to Create Adobe®
PDF Files for Print and Press (available from Adobe’s web site
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdfs/acr4finhowto.pdf
).
This document lists many Adobe applications and provides
recommended settings and procedures for creating PostScript
files that are optimized for PDF conversion.
In addition, this document also provides guidelines for creating
print-optimized PDF files. The preferred method is to utilize
Adobe’s Distiller, version 3.0.2 or higher to create the PDF files.

Submission software version 2.2 or higher, the Xerox DigiPath
