The Huntsville Times's Digital Media Department operates primarily on the Macintosh platform. For jobs created on this platform, we can accept native application files created in the most recent versions of Quark Xpress, Macromedia Freehand, Adobe Pagemaker, Illustrator & Photoshop. For recent upgrades or older software versions, please contact us to check for compatibility.

Please remember to include all of your fonts and any supporting graphics used to create your job. It is highly recommended that you use a preflight application, such as Markzware's Flightcheck or Extensis Preflight Pro, to collect for output, or, even better, use Adobe's Acrobat Distiller to create a single PDF file before sending your job.

Because of font conflicts and other technical difficulties, our options for outputting jobs created on the Windows, or PC, platform are somewhat limited. Jobs created in page layout programs like Corel Draw, Adobe Pagemaker or Microsoft Publisher must be saved as a Postscript or PDF file. We cannot output native application files created on the Windows platform.

The Huntsville Times can reproduce PC graphics files that have been saved in standard high-resolution image formats such as TIFF, EPS or JPEG. EPS files that contain fonts should have those fonts saved as outlines or curves.
