`Adobe Systems in the
`Newspaper Industry
`
`Adobe® PostScript,® Adobe Acrobat,® and Adobe PDF Advance
`Digital Workflow Efficiency
`Digital technologies have been a part of the daily newspaper world for many decades. Newspapers began
`setting type using computers in the early 1960s. By the early 1980s, most newspapers were using digital
`systems to set type in galleys, which were cut and pasted into pages, and then imaged. These days, the world’s
`leading-edge newspapers are moving to 100 percent digital page assembly and distribution, streamlining
`workflow processes while ensuring higher quality. Key software technologies from Adobe Systems, including
`Adobe PostScript 3,™ Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), are enabling this shift.
`Adobe is now taking the PostScript technology-based digital workflow process to the next level by using PDF
`to enable greater efficiencies than ever before possible.
`
`Traditional Creation and Distribution
`Even in the 1980s, much of the newspaper industry continued to rely on “print out and paste up” methods of
`production for the creation of both editorial and advertising content. For advertising, the process varies, but
`most retailers or ad agencies assemble ads using a combination of software applications, output them to paper
`or film, and then distribute them to newspapers via messenger, overnight express service, or U.S. mail. Once
`ads are received, the newspaper checks ad size, validates spot color requirements, and verifies film for process
`colors. The ad then goes to the production department, where it is pasted into the page or scanned for later
`imaging as part of a complete page. This process has its limitations. Deadline pressures, delivery costs, final
`quality, and the difficulty of using color are a few issues with the traditional prepress process.
`
`Because ads are pasted up at the last minute, errors in ads are often a problem, leading to “make-goods,”
`which is the practice of running an ad again for free to make up for an error, resulting in lost revenue.
`Inclement weather or other problems can cause ads to be delayed or even lost en route to their destinations.
`Airport closings can force retailers to turn to counter-to-counter courier services that charge hundreds of
`dollars. Hard-copy ads also lack the flexibility to accommodate late-breaking copy changes. Once an ad is
`received at the newspaper, it is considered final.
`
`For editorial content, the production process is similar. Stories are created using an editorial front-end system;
`type is set in galleys and then cut up and pasted onto boards for imaging. While some editorial content is
`created in a page layout program, ads are often added using cut and paste methods to create final documents.
`Color photos and graphical elements are difficult to incorporate, given the challenges of doing manual color
`separations quickly and reproducing with high-quality results. “Reproducing color in a quality manner using
`a mechanical prepress process is heavily labor-intensive,” says David M. Cole, proprietor of The Cole Group, a
`newspaper consulting firm based in Daly City, California. “As a result of the difficulties and time constraints of
`processing color, newspapers that use traditional methods can run color pictures with feature stories but often
`not with news stories.”

`
`The Move to a Digital Workflow
`Because of these limitations, many newspapers are turning to a complete digital process. With these new
`processes, reporters write stories in standard word processing applications. A page layout application is used
`for composition, and a pagination system tracks each element in a database. Ads can be sent to newspapers
`electronically and placed directly in the page. Headlines and captions are added; pages are then proofread.
`At the push of a button, pages are composed from elements in the pagination database, and a PostScript file
`is created. The PostScript file is then sent to a raster image processor (RIP), which rasterizes the pages and
`sends them to a plotter where they are printed on resin-coated paper or mylar-based negative film. In some
`cases, the rasterized file is sent to a high-quality fax machine where it is digitally transmitted to a remote
`printing facility.
`
`Digital workflow has many benefits, including better reproduction, flexibility in terms of output devices,
`and greater accuracy in ad tracking and placement. Proofing can be done electronically, contributing to
`greater efficiency and reliability. No longer do agencies or newspapers have to rely on overnight services
`because files can be sent electronically. Working with color is far easier because color separation happens
`as the page is being imaged, eliminating the labor-intensive, time-consuming mechanical color separation
`process. Delivering ads digitally also has many advantages. Ads can be transmitted up to the last minute,
`improving time-to-market and allowing retailers to make changes based on late-breaking market demands
`or inventory changes.
`
`But even when using 100 percent digital prepress, challenges exist. Because users work with a multitude
`of software applications as well as different fonts and different platforms, workflow can be extremely
`complicated. There can be too many different items to track, leading to delays in production and increased
`errors. Additional limitations on the editorial side include the bandwidth issues associated with sending
`large, rasterized PostScript files to printing facilities—which are often in a remote location—for proofing
`and printing. Using expensive satellite transmission or high-speed land lines is the typical way to solve
`this problem.
`
`On the advertising side, digital distribution of ads addresses some of the ad cost, quality, and accuracy issues,
`but checking and imaging digital files continues to present problems. Frequent issues in digital ads include
`missing fonts, corrupt files, missing graphics elements, copy inaccuracies, variations in application software
`versions, and use of software or software extensions not available at the newspaper. “Ad files in native
`application format sometimes don’t work when they are moved from point A to point B,” says Donna
`Yannessa, quality assurance manager for The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Whatever fonts were used in the job
`won’t print. Fonts and graphics become corrupted, all sorts of things happen almost every day that prevent
`ads from coming through our equipment.”
`
`PDF has been used for several years to address the issues of digital ad delivery. PDF files are completely
`portable and platform-independent. In addition, files converted to PDF are highly compressed, enabling
`rapid transmission over medium-bandwidth communication lines. Proofing using PDF is faster and easier
`because users can make annotations directly within the file and the creator can summarize all the comments.
`Another contributor to improved efficiency is the ability to create a PDF Digital Master, which contains all
`the graphics, fonts, text, images, and other elements of pages in a single compact file. PDF is also a secure file
`format, within which Acrobat users can specify levels of security for their files. A file can be saved with
`password protection so that it cannot be resaved without the password. PDF documents also are searchable,
`an important capability especially after documents are archived. Many third-party tools allow PDF files to be
`searched for specific text strings. PDF even has features for interactive document use. Hyperlinks can be added
`in order to move from page to page with ease.
`
`Another key advantage of PDF is its open architecture. Acrobat is an extensible application, and third-party
`developers are taking advantage of this to develop innovative plug-ins and solutions for the newspaper
`industry that make an investment in PDF scalable and flexible.
`
`Now, the use of PDF is being extended to the digital workflow process to overcome many of the challenges of
`strictly PostScript technology-based production processes. In PDF-based workflow, PDF is the common file
`format that maintains the integrity of editorial content originating from a variety of typesetting equipment
`and distributed over a range of computer systems.

`
`The Differences Between PostScript and PDF
`Adobe PostScript is a proven software technology, and the PostScript language is the world’s leading printing
`language. Recent studies show that 75 percent of all commercial publications in the world are printed using
`the PostScript language. Adobe PostScript software, which Adobe delivers through original equipment
`manufacturers (OEMs) that develop output devices and workflow solutions, offers high-quality, reliable
`printing, along with value-added features such as printer drivers and fonts.
`
`Adobe Acrobat 3.0 is actually a set of applications, each with its own unique capabilities, that runs on
`Macintosh, Windows,® and UNIX ® platforms. Acrobat Reader allows users to view, annotate, and print PDF
`files. Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free from the Adobe Web site and is currently being downloaded
`at an average of 70,000 copies per day. Acrobat Exchange® is a more full-featured version of Acrobat than
`the free Acrobat Reader and allows viewing, printing, annotating, editing, and combining of PDF files.
`Acrobat Exchange is also extensible through the use of third-party plug-ins. Acrobat Distiller® creates PDF files
`from PostScript language files. Distiller can be set to create PDF files for output to various media such as the
`Web and print. Acrobat has other components, but those most relevant to the newspaper industry are Acrobat
`Reader, Acrobat Exchange, and Distiller.
`
`PostScript technology has traditionally been a key component of the digital workflow process. A PostScript
`language file is written as an interpreted software program, generally as the output from a graphics or layout
`application. A PostScript file goes to the RIP “as is,” and pages are imaged in order. The PostScript file is
`essentially an interpreted stream of data. As a result, there is no page independence. Objects from one page
`can be dependent on objects of another page. If a font, for instance, was downloaded on an earlier page,
`a later page cannot be printed without it.
`
`PDF, on the other hand, is a declarative, object-based file. Each object on a page is independent of other
`objects and pages. Thus, files can be merged, documents can be combined, or pages can be deleted without
`having an impact on other pages or objects. For example, if a font is used on an earlier page and then that page
`is deleted, later pages can still print. In addition, PDF files can be viewed and edited easily. Users have direct
`access to the objects and resources within every file. For these reasons and more, Adobe PDF-based workflows
`have the potential to overcome many of the traditional limitations of PostScript technology-based workflows.
`
`New Features for Print Production
`Adobe PostScript 3 technology has one of the most advanced and flexible architectures for enabling a com-
`plete digital workflow. Through the support of a composite prepress workflow, newspapers can automate tasks
`that were once tedious and time-consuming, leaving more time for other services and revenue opportunities.
`Specifically, Adobe PostScript 3 offers key new features that not only make it easier to print PDF files, but
`provide more reliable, consistent printing. Adobe PostScript 3 supports direct printing of PDF files. Through
`the use of drop folders and hot folders, users can queue jobs to a device without having to open and print or
`proof them from within an application.
`
`Adobe PostScript 3 technology also supports In-RIP trapping. Adobe’s patented trapping engine allows users
`to specify trapping zones and locations for their specific needs. To achieve optimum quality, customers can
`specify different settings for different printing engines. Using plug-ins for common publishing applications
`such as Adobe PageMaker® and QuarkXPress,® customers can also set trapping information within the applica-
`tions. This feature offers flexibility in the workflow and streamlines complex individualistic workflows.
`
`Adobe PostScript 3 also improves workflow productivity and facilitates the use of color through Device N,
`which allows process color spaces fewer than four colors (such as duotones and tritones) or more than four
`colors (such as HiFi colors). Device N color provides a mechanism for representing a wider color gamut than
`the traditional RGB and CMYK color models, enabling printing of more color spaces and complex color
`documents. And, because Adobe PostScript 3 supports In-RIP color separation on both low-end and high-
`end devices and everything in between, users who have proofed their separations on lower end devices will
`get the same reliable results on high-end output devices.

`
`Acrobat 3.0 and PDF language version 1.2 also have new features that make PDF more useful in the print
`production process. For example, PDF can now retain the necessary information in PostScript files such as
`those used in print production today. Now, PDF supports all PostScript Level 2 color spaces and spot colors,
`making it suitable for use in color print work. This is an important development, especially for digital delivery
`of advertising. Composite color ads can now be delivered reliably to newspapers using PDF, eliminating the
`need to pre-separate color before sending. Acrobat 3.0 also offers the ability to export PDF as Encapsulated
`PostScript (EPS), allowing users to proof and distribute files in PDF and allowing newspapers to subsequently
`place the file into a page in EPS format. This reduces the amount of stripping necessary later in the workflow
`and also can reduce errors in ad placement.
`
`The Key—PDF Digital Master Files
`The key element, and an important improvement, of PDF-based workflow over PostScript technology-based
`workflow is the use of PDF as a Digital Master file. This file contains everything, including text, fonts, line art,
`graphics, and photos, yet in most cases, it is very small due to Acrobat software’s compression capabilities.
`A PDF Digital Master maintains the visual integrity of a document and maintains it in such a way that it can
`easily be viewed or edited on any platform and printed to any device. It also contains all the printing features
`of the PostScript file such as overprint, UCR, GCR, halftone data, and transfer functions. A PDF Digital Master
`is, in fact, a PostScript language file interpreted by Adobe technology into a viewable and editable PDF file.
`
`When newspapers compose pages in a page layout program and send files off for print production, they send
`more than just text. Files also include illustrations, photos, and fonts. Combining these elements into a PDF
`file provides everything that is necessary, all in one place, reducing the chances of error and the difficulty
`associated with tracking hundreds of different elements. This is why retailers delivering ads digitally and
`newspapers transmitting files to remote printing sites are increasingly converting their PostScript files
`to PDF using Acrobat Distiller and then transmitting them to the remote location.
`
`Acrobat Distiller preserves all the nuances of PostScript and embeds them in a compact, completely platform-
`and application-independent PDF file. Use of PDF has other advantages as well. PDF is a compressed file
`format, alleviating the bandwidth issues associated with sending large ads to newspapers or rasterized files to
`remote printing facilities. Users can set file or image compression specific to their needs. PDF also eliminates
`many of the problems associated with traditional digital delivery—issues such as missing fonts, corrupt files,
`or variations in application software versions. As a result of processing PostScript files through Acrobat
`Distiller, an Adobe PostScript interpreter, any PostScript problems are found before the file goes to the output
`phase so files print more reliably. “PDF files are essentially pre-RIPped; the right fonts are there; and any
`PostScript issues are pinpointed early on for correction,” explains David M. Cole. “Because of this, PDF files
`are less likely to cause problems with a RIP when a page is being imaged.”
`
`In the case of ads, PDF saves time and lets newspapers receive digital ads without the worry of application
`software and/or platform compatibility. When a newspaper receives a PDF file, it can be sent to a pagination
`system or printed through an imagesetter with fewer problems. When using a device with Adobe PostScript 3,
`the file can be passed directly to a hot folder for printing, enabling the PDF file to be output directly, saving
`steps in the workflow. PDF also allows easier late-stage editing, enabling greater flexibility and market
`responsiveness. Advertisers can change ads up to the last minute in response to inventory changes
`or market demands and send them faster with Acrobat software’s compression capabilities.
`
`Throughout the production process, PDF is becoming a standard means of transporting composite
`documents—whether they are ads or newspaper pages—quickly, completely and efficiently. PDF serves as a
`single, open standard file format that provides everyone involved in the process access to files in the same form
`and quality as the original, regardless of the application or platform used to create it. One example of a
`company taking advantage of PDF is The Associated Press (AP).

`
`AP AdSEND Uses PDF to Distribute Ads Digitally
`AP AdSEND, a digital advertising delivery service launched by the AP, has used PDF as a standard file format
`to streamline advertising workflow since 1994. The AP foresaw the move toward digital workflows in the
`newspaper and magazine industry, recognized that this would compress production timelines, and wanted
`to provide its customers with a means of delivering ads faster, more consistently, and more reliably. The AP
`AdSEND service leverages the AP’s communications network and technical expertise to electronically deliver
`ads to more than 1,550 newspapers throughout the United States. PDF is used as a common file format to
`retain the visual appearance of advertisements originating from a variety of typesetting equipment and
`distributed over a range of computer systems. “We’re now distributing an incredible volume of ads in PDF
`on a daily basis,” says Jim Gerberich, AP director of operations for business development. “Yesterday alone,
`we sent more than 7,400 ads in PDF in one day. Our monthly average runs between 100,000 and 125,000.”
`
`One big reason the AP AdSEND service is growing so dramatically is the fact that the industry has become
`comfortable with PDF, as well as AdSEND’s ability to support the end user. Growth is also spurred by the
`ability in Acrobat 3.02 to support composite color. Prior to Acrobat version 3.02, AP AdSEND users had to
`send pre-separated color, which meant extra effort and inconvenience. “Now, more and more advertisers are
`sending composite color ads,” says Gerberich. “People trust PDF, and it’s becoming a de facto standard for ad
`distribution.”
`
`According to Gerberich, another big advantage to AP AdSEND and PDF is spontaneity. AdSEND clients
`make critical ad decisions up to the last minute. As a result, the entire workflow and advertising process is
`compressed. This is further supported by the compression capabilities of Acrobat, which speed transmission.
`“Using AP AdSEND and PDF, advertisers can make last-minute decisions based on market needs and inven-
`tory. Before, advertisers had to decide far in advance and try to anticipate market needs,” Gerberich says. “Just
`a few years ago, an advertiser that decided on Thursday to advertise in ten Sunday papers would have been
`hiring airplanes to make it happen.”
`
`Now, Adobe’s tools allow AP AdSEND customers to virtually eliminate the use and cost of overnight services.
`“Unlike using an overnight service, AdSEND doesn’t require a lot of advanced planning. Acrobat allows us to
`complete the process in as little as one hour. This has been a huge benefit to the industry,” explains Gerberich.
`
`The Philadelphia Inquirer is taking advantage of PDF and services such as AP AdSEND to streamline
`the advertising and prepress process. According to Donna Yannessa, AP AdSEND and PDF take much of the
`worry out of working with digital ads. “PDF files typically don’t break. We often take files we receive in native
`application format and convert them to PDF to make them print or to isolate a problem,” says Yannessa.
`“PDF files also are small and easy to move around.”
`
`The Philadelphia Inquirer is incorporating PDF into the workflow process for its Sunday magazine as well.
`Ads are received in both native-application format and as PDF files. To avoid sending all the fonts to the
`printer, files are converted to PDF with fonts embedded, placed in an electronic page, and then sent to the
`printer for output and printing. “PDF has solved many of the font issues we previously faced,” says Yannessa.
`
`As a major advertiser, Macy’s West also takes advantage of AP AdSEND and PDF to deliver ads to newspapers.
`“Our entire newspaper advertising workflow is in PDF,” says Ward Parsons, director of marketing technology
`for Macy’s West. Macy’s West delivers between 400 and 500 ads in PDF each month, roughly 25 percent of
`them are color. The result? Consumables have been cut by 85 percent. Man-hours on ad delivery have been
`reduced by 75 percent. But perhaps the biggest benefits are intangible. “With increased speed and flexibility,
`we can tailor ads to specific markets,” says Parsons. “We can also use ads for multiple purposes—quickly post
`PDF files on our intranet, for instance, to let stores in different regions know what items are on sale and be
`prepared with sufficient quantities of those products.”
`
`Autologic Information International and Zero Hora Use PDF for Easy Remote Printing
`To deliver comprehensive PDF-based workflow solutions to the newspaper industry, Adobe is working with a
`number of OEMs. OEMs in turn are leveraging key Adobe technologies such as Adobe PostScript 3, Acrobat,
`and PDF to bring benefits to their newspaper customers. Among them is Autologic Information International
`(aii), based in Thousand Oaks, California. One aii customer in particular, Zero Hora, a major newspaper in
`Southern Brazil that has been in business for 36 years, is discovering the benefits of using PDF as a way to
`streamline its PostScript technology-based workflow.

`
`Zero Hora is a newspaper with a daily circulation of 180,000 and Sunday circulation of 300,000. It is a fully
`paginated tabloid that recently installed new presses in Kruz Alta, approximately 400 kilometers from its main
`offices in Porto Alegre. Zero Hora had an existing PostScript technology-based workflow, which it wanted
`to maintain. However, like most newspapers with remote printing facilities, Zero Hora faced the bandwidth
`issues associated with distributing compressed bitmap data for printing. This problem is typically solved
`by using either satellite or high-speed land lines to transmit the data. The newspaper had two 128 KB
`communication lines available and did not want to install dedicated high-speed transmission lines or
`expensive satellite equipment. Instead, Zero Hora decided on a solution based on aii products, PDF,
`and Adobe PostScript 3.

`Zero Hora remote printing workflow with Autologic, Adobe PostScript 3, and PDF.
`
`The aii solution consists of APS™ PagePair and Adobe Acrobat operating on the existing aii server. Fully
`paginated composite PostScript pages are submitted to the aii Output Manager. Individual pages are held
`until the printer pairs are resolved by page pairing templates set up in the APS PagePair software. After
`reconciliation of the printer pairs, high-resolution graphics are included in the pages using the Page
`Component Inclusion (OPI/PCI) feature of the aii OMAN output management system.
`
`Next, a dual workflow process is initiated for the paired PostScript pages. The first workflow process uses
`the existing RIPs and imagers at the local site to produce final films for platemaking. The second submits the
`paired PostScript pages to Adobe Acrobat Distiller for conversion from PostScript to PDF. During distillation,
`data is compressed for fast transmission on moderate-speed communication lines. Resulting files are typically
`750 KB to 1.5 MB, an 80 percent reduction in file size. Completion of the distillation process also creates
`“clean” PostScript, ensuring reliable RIPping at the newspaper’s remote site.
`
`The PDF files are then sent to the aii APSCOM Document Distribution Server for delivery to an APSCOM
`receiving server at the remote printing facility. Upon receipt, the PDF files are RIPped on APS RIP3s using
`Adobe PostScript 3 technology. They are then imaged on aii APS 3850 imagesetters. The aii APS RIP3s are
`built using Adobe PostScript 3, which is capable of direct PDF printing. In addition to the benefits of
`increased delivery speed using moderate-speed lines and the enhanced reliability of PDF, the ability
`to render data at a remote printing facility is an additional benefit that is not recognizable when using
`bitmap or facsimile data.

`
`Zero Hora and aii are a great example of how digital workflow and PDF can benefit newspapers. Adobe is also
`working with several other OEMs to create innovative solutions for the newspaper industry. Manufacturers
`such as Agfa, ECRM, Fuji Film, IPTech, Kodak, MGI, Monotype, PrePress Solutions, Tektronix, and Xitron,
`to name a few.
`
`The Value of Adobe PostScript and PDF
`The advantages of Adobe technology for the newspaper industry are many. Incorporating PDF as part of a
`digital workflow usually does not require a large investment or major disruptions to the existing workflow.
`If the digital workflow is separated into three components—creation, assembly, and delivery—PDF is
`generated near the end of the creation process. As a result, authors and ad creators can work as they are
`accustomed, using familiar software applications. In addition, PDF workflow offers benefits to people in the
`page-assembly process. Features in Adobe PostScript 3 such as In-RIP trapping and hot folders for direct PDF
`printing reduce many steps in the workflow, enabling newspaper staffs to spend less time on tedious activities.
`
`In addition to streamlining workflow processes using PDF and PostScript, Adobe is advancing its PostScript
`printing technology, making high-quality, reliable printing easier than ever before to achieve. Adobe PostScript
`3 provides the most robust set of capabilities on the market today. New capabilities such as smooth shading, a
`new operator that defines a gradient blend, enable files to be processed as much as six times faster than when
`using previous PostScript versions. Idiom recognition, another performance-enhancing feature of Adobe
`PostScript 3, identifies older versions of PostScript code that are describing gradient blends and automatically
`replaces them with the new smooth shading command.
`
`Unlike other page description languages, Adobe PostScript 3 is a complete print system. Adobe drivers are
`available for Apple Macintosh, Microsoft® Windows 95, and Microsoft Windows NT,® allowing users to create
`consistent output optimized for use on an Adobe PostScript printer. In addition to providing value through
`advanced, reliable printer drivers, Adobe PostScript 3 also comes standard with an extended font set. Every
`Adobe PostScript 3 device ships with 136 fonts. Also, the Adobe PostScript language is offered on a wider
`range of printing devices than any other page description language. Adobe PostScript provides a level of
`quality, reliability, and consistency from the low end to the high end that no other printing technology can
`offer. This ensures that users will receive consistent results from their local desktop Adobe PostScript printers
`all the way to high-end film separations coming from an Adobe PostScript RIP.
`
`Advancing Digital Workflow to the Next Level
`The integration of Adobe software from the creation process through to delivery and printing creates a
`streamlined, reliable, consistent, digital workflow. Adobe solutions are based on open standards that deliver
`flexible, scalable workflows for the professional publishing community. While many of Adobe’s technologies
`for the newspaper industry operate “behind the scenes,” Adobe is working with a host of OEMs to deliver
`high-quality printing solutions to help newspapers thrive into the next century and beyond.
