printing of Flyers

aayush

I did a post some back last year and was given a few names of company who do cheap printing but good quality

I have sent them the information as per there request but one of them has not sent one response to date

So i need to ask if any one now of package which can be downloaded on pc and thus i can make the changes to my flyer and then print it as it will be quicker i think then waiting for company's to respond
As we know we all crying for business but some not have time to respond to your emails
I am able to scan the old flyer but wish to make changes to price and contact deatils any one out ther help please

What file format is your original file?

PDF? Adobe InDesign?

What format do the online printers require? Hi-res PDF (PDF-X)?

If you're starting from scratch even Microsoft Publisher would be OK for most fliers (but the end result is not as nice as InDesign even when converted to PDF).

i have it scanned as jpg
not sure how to change to pdf
as sent them as jpg

so any suggestions?

aayush

as not wish to start from scratch as have the jpg of the flyer

GolfBravo

Scanned as jpg? It will be a "low quality" print then.

Try free Gimp.

You need to cover the original contact and price details and then write new details (on a new layer). Then save it in as high resolution jpg and PDF and send it to your online printers.

Next time somebody designs any flyers for you make sure you keep the original files (Adobe InDesign and PDF-X) and copyright - it will be much quicker/cheaper to update in the future.

as was looking for some where i could scan my flyer and then edit th deatils which need to be updated and the print as want use the same lay out

Keep in mind that once you scan it the scan image is just that, an image - you can't edit it, you need to add any new text on top of the original image. It is not an editable document, like a Word document, it is just a photo.

So you either have to add the new details on top of the scanned image, or start from scratch.

Is there any other way to do it ?

GolfBravo

Nope.

Either patch up the original scan (hi-res) jpeg, or create a new flyer file from scratch.

How big is the flyer? Just a double sided A4? White background where you need the new prices and contact details? Any images?

Another thing, your online printer: what sort of files do they accept? What resolution and colour profile?

Who did the original flyer for you?
