This is a guide for creating PDF documents when working with MagNet\u00a0Express\u00a0to\u00a0get the very best\u00a0and most compatible publications<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text]
<\/div>[vc_column_text]\n

1. CHOOSE A GOOD FONT AND SIZE FOR YOUR TEXTS<\/b><\/h4>\n

For online use it\u2019s very important to have a text size of minimum 10pt \/ 13px so the content can be read easily. Make sure your fonts are thick, sharp and readable. A small and thin text is difficult to get sharp and readable in an online publication.<\/p>\n

To guarantee a sharp and clean look in your online publications, we recommend the use of Web fonts or Web typography. What is a web font?<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text]

2. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR IMAGES ARE BIG ENOUGH<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you want your images to look good and sharp in your online publication, you need to use sharp print quality images of at least 200 dpi.<\/strong> \u00a0This will assure that the images are sharp even if \u00a0your clients are zooming your publication. Avoid using small web quality images with a resolution of 72 dpi, so they don\u2019t look pixelated.[\/vc_column_text]

3. LINKS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS MAKE YOUR PUBLICATION USER FRIENDLY<\/b><\/h4>\n

You can add links and bookmarks\u00a0to your PDF by using tools such as Adobe Acrobat or InDesign.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>
How to add a link inside your ePaper<\/span><\/div>
Select the link tool and drag a rectangle where you want to create your link in your publication. This is the area in which the link is active.<\/p>\n

Go to the \u201cCreate Link\u201d dialog box and choose the options you want for the link appearance. Remember that the link style should be an invisible rectangle.<\/p>\n

You can use links to go to a specific web page URL, or you can use links to jump to specific pages within your publication (go to a page view). All links in the PDF file are automatically included in your ePaper upon upload.<\/p>\n

Do not add links that cover entire pages or place links in the edges of pages. A link-free area the size of a thumb tip should be left in the page edges to ensure that page turning, zooming and links work correctly.<\/p>\n

Make sure to save the file and test the links in your PDF before uploading it. If the links do not work in the PDF file, they will not work in the ePaper\u00a0either.<\/div><\/div>

How to create a table of contents using bookmarks<\/span><\/div>
A table of contents is very helpful when browsing a large publication like a catalog.<\/p>\n

To create a table of contents you need to create a list of topics that are addressed inside your publication such as the titles and create bookmarks to\u00a0them. These\u00a0bookmark\u00a0titles will help the reader to jump into the different topics you selected inside the publication.<\/p>\n

Begin with opening the page that\u00a0you want the bookmark to link to.<\/p>\n

Click the \u201cBookmarks\u201d button, and select the bookmark under which you want to place the new bookmark. If you don\u2019t select a bookmark, the new bookmark is automatically added at the end of the list.<\/p>\n

Choose \u201cNew Bookmark\u201d from the options menu.\u00a0Type or edit the name of the new bookmark.<\/p>\n

Make sure to save the file and test the bookmarks in\u00a0your PDF before uploading it. If the bookmarks\u00a0do not work in the PDF file, they will not work in the\u00a0ePaper\u00a0either.<\/p>\n

When the PDF file is uploaded to MagNet\u00a0Express the bookmarks are automatically imported and turned into a table of contents.<\/div><\/div>

<\/div>[vc_column_text]\n

Things to\u00a0check before uploading your PDF:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Keep the file size of your PDF below 500 Mb.<\/li>\n
  • All pages should have same height and width and be in the correct order.<\/li>\n
  • Avoid crop marks in your PDF.<\/li>\n
  • Flatten the PDF.<\/li>\n
  • Name the file well. The name becomes the link to your ePaper.\u00a0Avoid special characters and spaces. Because they might break the link!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
