What do I need to consider when saving and exporting my print template?

Once your artwork is finished, you can save it by clicking on ‘File’ and ‘Save As’. Next, select ‘Adobe PDF(pdf)’ as the file format. This will display a pop-up window. Under ‘General’ click ‘Print Quality’ for the Adobe PDF template and select ‘Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6)’ under Compatibility.

Under the ‘Options’ menu, select ‘Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities’ and ‘Create Acrobat Layers From Top-Level Layers'. Make sure that the image compression is 300 ppi in the ‘Compatibility’ menu. In the ‘Marks & Bleed’ area, only the ‘Use Document Bleed Settings’ box should be checked.
