d. When the text has been edited, the designer imports the pictures and uses precise tools to

f. Once the file is composed and saved, the designer has to prepare it for printing, which involves
verifying the color specification, creating a Postscript or PDF file, exporting the file in HTML format for
the Web, checking proofs, etc.
b. The last step is to take the files to a service bureau, which will print the Publication.
