Hi

I bought and am learning CS4 so I can do my own artwork for our new business.

Artwork side is fine.

My printer said to send him the artwork with crop marks in a PDF.

So I am guessing I setup a PDF printer and ensure all settings are suitable for my 300DPI artwork and then use that as the printer and send the resultant PDF to the company printing the cards?

Is that right and also what PDF printer is recommended?

Cheers
Chris
