It is enlightening and really refreshing to find a tutorial from someone who is prepress and postprocessing savvy. Thanks for that. Hope to see more from you//I enjoyed it. One question though: Do you design banners full scale? I was taught to design on a smaller scale proportionally, and prepress/printshop will blow it up as needed. Reason for this question is the memory lags and crashes I experienced in both Acrobat and InDesign. (I tried your tut on a 60in by 24in selfmade banner). I'm off to your next tut😅.
That can be true with some designs. I don’t do a ton of straight design work myself, but if I do, I usually try and use vectors when possible #1 and if it’s a heavy image type banner I usually drop the dpi to 150 or 100 depending on the size. They look pixelated up close, but from afar they look fine. Thanks for watching.
Go to tools -> print production -> preflight. When that window opens you’ll see three icons in the center of the window. The wrench icon is for fix ups. When you have it selected in the upper right of the window it should say options with a drop down selector. From there you click “create fixup” and you’ll find the built in Adobe preflight fix up profiles. Let me know if that helped.
Definitely sharing this with my designer! Thanks Mike.
Right on. Stay tuned, tonight I’m doing a follow up with a way to automate it even further.
Check out my latest video. I did a set up where you automate the whole process. Good for doing multiple banners and multiple sizes all at once.
Excellent.
Thank you.

Hi new here// At timestamp 1:06 you say: go to options and then create fixup. I do not have that option. I am using Acrobat pro 2024. Can you help?
