A local print shop can print just about in time but
obviously need pdf.

IME it is much safer creating and sending bitmaps than
PDF as it is now one of the least reliable formats there
is other than Word.
That is very interesting news. I had thought that the PDF
format had eveything tightly nailed dowm, but apparently
not?
My current favourite print shop always asks for bitmaps
as well if you send them PDFs so they can check it has
all rendered correctly: they have received many PDFs
which don't render properly and these have caused
problems and irate customers. They have even added a
permanent standard paragraph about this to their quotes.
What sort of bitmaps do they use? Presumably not Sprites?
And if not Sprites, how accurate are the format change
utilities that one would have to use?
