I've been handling the magazine artwork in publisher for years (now using Pub 2007). The magazine is between 32 and 44 pages.
Up to now the printer has always printed from hardcopy but to move forward we intend to send a PDF file which is pretty straight foreward.
The magazine has always been made from 2 separate publisher files; text and editorial in one, and adverts in the other (the two tasks are handled by different people).
When we printed hardcopy for the printer it was easy to lay the sheets from both files in the right order for publication. Now we have to copy and paste the adverts onto pages within the text file. It is that task that which is the most difficult as there is no real-time view of the effect of shuffling pages around to get the right balance of articles to adverts.
The only solution seems to be to print the file and play around with a hardcopy, then make the changes in the file.
Does anyone have any suggestions to overcome the problem?
Thanks
Pete
