  • Adobe PageMaker (MACINTOSH & WINDOWS)
  • Fancy does not support Adobe PageMaker. PageMaker can be used for ad creation, however the file must be sent in a format we can output. We only accept file output from PageMaker as a PDF format. Follow the steps below to create a print-quality PDF file.
  • With file open and saved, go to the File pull-down menu. Scroll down to the "Export" sub-menu. Open the sub-menu and choose "Adobe PDF".
  • Settings in the PDF dialog box must be identical to those pictured in the example (see Figure 6 below). The "PDF Styles" field must read "[Print]" otherwise the PDF output will be low resolution.

    Corel Draw 8 (MACINTOSH & WINDOWS)

  • Fancy does not support Corel Draw. Corel Draw can be used for ad creation, however the file must be sent in a format we can output. Please output in Adobe Illustrator format or EPS format. Both techniques are illustrated below.
  • To format in Adobe Illustrator 7, use the File pull-down menu. Select "Save As". In the "Save As" dialog box, choose Adobe Illustrator as the format (see Figure 7 below).

  • The "Adobe Illustrator Export" dialog box will appear. Adjust settings as shown (see Figure 8 below).

  • To save in EPS format, use the File pull-down menu and select "Export". In the dialog box, choose the Encapsulated Postscript option. (see Figure 9 below).

  • In the EPS settings dialog box, adjust settings as shown (see Figure 10 below).
