CMYK PDF output

[ians]

We wanted to run an advert in a magazine and the publishers have asked for a particular format. We've nothing that can do this and I wondered if Paintshop Pro was able to do this?

Requirement :

PDF files should be Acrobat 3.0 compatible; Composite PDF, CMYK colour space; contain one page per PDF document; Colour bitmap images, CMYK – effective resolution 300 dpi; Greyscale bitmap images – effective resolution 300dpi; Monochrome bitmap images (linework) – effective resolution 1200 dpi; 3mm bleed should be included on all sides where necessary; Crop marks should be included and offset by 10pt.

The only file-format that PSP can save to with a CMYK colorspace is TIFF.

If you're looking for software that can do this may I recommend Scribus? It's a free "professional layout and publishing software." Even got some loose instructions on how to go about this. http://blog.tsoots.fi/2009/02/preparing ... k-pdf.html
