We have a 44 page brochure we need made print ready.
You can view the brochure here:

The file is called "AW14 Catalogue Prices HighRes"
Its a pdf file I have created in apple iWork Pages and exported to a pdf to print. The printing company tell me the format is not print ready. I need the file made print ready. I can either send to you as a pages file or as a pdf
These are the specifications from the print company:
Instructions for this product:
(1) Data format
This is the size in which you must send us your file:
154 x 216 mm
The background or graphical elements which are to be trimmed should extend to the red margin. We will then trim off 3 mm. You must take this into account in the design of your product!
(2) Final format
This is the size in which we will deliver your printed product:
148 x 210 mm
This is the final format after we have trimmed 3 mm from the left- and right-hand edges and the top and bottom.
You will receive this product ready-stapled! All costs for further processing are already included. The magazines are printed and further processed on modern machines. At present they can only be produced in the paper qualities offered here.
Bleed 3 mm
Stapeled:
This margin is absolutely essential in order to compensate the trimming tolerance. The margin will normally be completely cut off. It is mandatory that background images or areas which are to reach to the edge of the page of your print extend to within this 3 mm margin, thus ensuring that no thin white margin will be left after trimming.
Adhesive binding:
head, foot, outer edge: 3 mm
binding edge: 3 mm
Edge distance
Stapeled:
In addition, it must be noted that texts and important information are at least 5 mm away from the original or inner edge. Otherwise there is a risk that a portion may be cut off!
In most cases it does not look particularly attractive if the text is "stuck" so near to the edge.
Adhesive binding:
In addition, it must be noted that texts and important information are at least 8 mm away from the original or inner edge on the top, bottom and outside. 13 mm are required for the binding edge. Otherwise there is a risk that a portion may be cut off!
In most cases it does not look particularly attractive if the text is "stuck" so near to the edge.
Resolution
We print with a 70line screen which gives a resolution of 354 dpi. In order to obtain optimum printing results, your printing data must have a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch). If your file is saved with a lower resolution a quality loss may result.
Colour settings
CMYK is the standard colour mode we use for full colour printing. You should therefore create your files in the CMYK colour mode. This is necessary for all products printed with the offset (litho) printing method (flyers, leaflets, brochures...). If, however, we receive files with other colour settings, our system will automatically convert them to CMYK. This may result in slight colour deviations which will not be accepted as complaints as we do not know the original colour you wished to have. If, from the start, your data are created in CMYK and you access our ICC colour profile (available under downloads) the probable result will be simulated on your monitor.
Inking (amount of ink used)
The colour channels cyan, magenta, yellow and black are displayed in percent in your layout programme. Assuming that the file is created and saved with a CMYK colour space, the summation of the colours cyan, magenta, yellow and back must not exceed 300%.
If it does, it causes an above-average ink application and can therefore cause a faulty result. Such a high ink application does not dry properly and your prints might stick together and tear on separation.
Attention:
When RGB files are converted to CMYK colour settings, RGB black turns into over 300% CMYK black(C+M+Y+K). The files have to be amended after they have been converted.
Complaints referring to an above-average ink application cannot unfortunately be accepted.
For a black or grey colour please use K (K=key=black) only. If your fonts use three or more colours shadows can appear on the printed product.
To obtain deep black, 40% cyan and 100% black are adequate (40/0/0/100). Alternatively you can use CMYK 30/30/30/100.
File formats and page orientation
Generally we prefer multipage PDF files (version X-3:2002). Ideally you should send us a multipage PDF. The first page of your PDF will be used for the outside/front, the second page for the inside/back.
