Postscript and Distiller Settings

Download Settings to Your Distiller Program
If you use Adobe Acrobat Distiller to prepare your projects or ads, please download these settings to use for all of your projects with us.

After you have downloaded and Unstuffed/Unzipped the Acrobat Distiller Job Option named "ThePapersSettings.joboptions", you will need to place it into the correct folder for it to work properly. The file needs to be placed in the Adobe Acrobat/Distiller/Settings folder. It goes in the same place for MAC and PC. Restart Distiller, and see if ThePapersSettings is in the Job Options Pop-Up menu. Please be sure to always use this setting when making ads or projects for The Papers Incorporated.
