Editors-in-Chief/Editors may create low-resolution watermarked PDF proof files suitable for circulating to proofreaders who are not working directly in the yearbook software. For example, generate separate per section pdfs by grade for teachers to proof their classroom pages, or a pdf of the entire book to provide to the principal for review prior to submission.
After generating a watermarked PDF proof file, download it to your computer -- the download link will expire in a few hours.
The PDF proofing files are watermarked and contain low-resolution (100 DPI) graphics, suitable for quick printing on a local printing device (for mark-up corrections) but not suitable for professional quality printing. Books must be submitted to publisher for professional printing & binding.
