It's fantastic, although I found it a little blurry at the size I wanted to read it -- can that be fixed at all? Can it be slightly higher res? Would be worth the download!
Thanks V&D!

G'Day Caren, Thanks for your comment and suggestion.
Probably the main issue is file size and download time. The file is generated in InDesign and exported as an eps and then shrunk in Acrobat distiller. It comes aout as the 700+k file. On my screen @ arond 150% it looks OK - there is a slight aliasing on the text but quite ledgibile. I've also downloaded it at work on a PC and looks OK as well.

What magnification are you viewing at? Would you think it worthwhile offering a larger file as a download option that could be @ print quality?

Happy to look at any suggestions for workflows that will offer a better quality online product that you or others may have.

Hear from you

Cheers

Doug
