Hello there every print oriented people!
I have a little problem with bevelized text. I need to sent some prochures to print and my client wants his company´s logo to be bevelized. I am not sure how to generate PDF from bevelized text or objects.
You see every time I try to print out PDF, text with bevel is distorted and corrupted.
Can anyone help me with this annoying issue?
Many thanks in advance!

I think you will need to save the pictures with higher quality in the pdf… I am not sure if pdf can also display vector images have not seen that before :qu:
Hello Pixelsoul and thanks for your respond
I need to have logo with bevel that should be no problem but for me it seems to be.
I don´t know is it because of software or PDF- generator. I heard that Freehand has a same problem…
I use Xara X1 and Primo PDF to generate PDF. I´ve tried many different ways to reach the result that I am after -sofar no luck. [ATT=17071]problem.gif[/] I tried to convert it to TIFF-format and made PDF -still no luck…
Attached image will explain it better.
Once again I´ll appriciate any help and many thanks inadvance.
Here is the image of bevelized logo -hope so… 
Could you not just bevel the logo in Photoshop or what ever similar software you use? That is what I do. Or build up layers of the same vector object in illustrator (offsetting and changing colour for high/low lights).
I am not familiar with Xara, bit I would guess you’d need to rasterise the object for whatever method is used to create the bevel to be carried off to PDF?
Yup you just need to rasterize the effect… 
This happens also in Illustrator for example when exporting to .fla etc…

I made a bitmap image with Xara, strange that they didn´t advice me to do that when I called them, any way
This is really a silly question but is it so that even digitalprint needs vector images first to be rasterized, is it because of repro? I know that if you use traditional printing method you need first to rasterize vector images and then with huge resolution (say 600pix/inc.) can be printed.
I am not really focused on print media mainly used to work in web enviroment, so there is a lot to learn.
Any way many thanks for your help!
