Submitting Your PDF

PDF files with all fonts embedded and high-resolution graphics (grayscale and color TIFFs at 300 dpi, and lineart at 1200 dpi). Please review CRM's Preferred PDF Settings for specific setting information.

Please note, any spot colors used in the design of your ad will be converted to CMYK for
4-color insertions. All colors will be converted to grayscale for B/W insertions. We recommend making these conversions before you create your PDF.

If you prefer not to use the FTP upload at the right, you may submit your artwork via email to Nan or mail it on a CD or DVD to our Geneva office. 

Insertion Instructions

In the comments area to the right, please specify the publication(s) in which you wish your ad to appear.

All PDFs are reviewed upon receipt and a confirmation proof will be sent to you in a timely manner.

If you need to submit your ad in another format, please contact Nan for special instructions.
