Microsoft Excel

When an Excel file is read on a new computer, missing fonts are substituted and print margins are jogged around, all without any input or control from the user. This makes it unsuitable as a working application in almost all cases. The best and most reliable route for getting your spreadsheets through a prepress workflow is to convert the files to PDF format on the system where they were originally created. You can accomplish this with the use of one of Adobe's Acrobat products. Go to Adobe's website to learn about how to create PDF files from your documents.
