Other Software

Although we can accept files created in the following programs, you should contact us if you are unsure of any settings. In general, if you are able to create a print-ready PDF from these applications, this is always recommended.

pages Apple Pages
corel CorelDRAW
word Microsoft Word
publisher Microsoft Publisher

For some programs (other than the ones above) you may need to temporarily supply Pagefast with your software so we can access and export the job for film output. Sometimes this involves extra time and there may be a surcharge.

Most other popular file formats can also be used, see here, however be aware that output of file for printing may require extra time and effort (and therefore costs). This is especially true if work is to be printed in colour either Spot colour(s) or full CMYK film output.
