PDF JobReady Tool
Atwood's Printing recently launched Adobe PDF JobReady, an enhanced feature on our website granting customers the ability to convert their created files into print-ready PDF form.
The PDF JobReady feature is provided to preserve electronic files in a universal portable document format (PDF) before submitting to print. The utility prevents problems experienced with multiple computer platforms, programs and typical file transfer such as missing fonts and format errors. The customer’s file is therefore preserved as created, and submitted in print-ready form.
If you have ever sent an electronic file to a printer you know the typical issues that can be encountered. The PDF JobReady tool allows us to eliminate those problems and give our customers a more streamlined printing process. The result is no hassles and no technical problems to resolve.

Message from Bret...
Destination, Destination, Destination!
“Location, location, location” is a famous mantra for its importance in real estate values and business success! But what about remembering where you are going and what it is costing you along the way! Here is a cute story that helps keep ‘destination’ in mind; a much needed perspective especially at this time of year!
An American tourist passed a quaint fishing boat docking in a tiny
Mexican village and he stopped to compliment the fisherman on his catch and inquire how long it took him to catch them.
"Not long," was the reply.
The American was a little baffled and wondered why the fisherman wouldn’t stay out and catch more. The Mexican explained that his catch would meet his and his family’s needs and this allowed him to sleep in, fish, play with his children and siesta with his wife. He had a good life with time to see friends and make music and dance a little.
The American jumped in, "I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You must start by fishing longer so you can sell the extra fish you catch and with the money you can buy a bigger boat."
"And then?" asked the Mexican.
"With the extra money you can buy more until you have a fleet. Then you can build an empire; selling your fish to a middle man, work directly with the processing plants or open your own. You can move to the city of your dreams, Paris, Los Angeles, New York.”
"How long would that take?"
"Twenty, maybe twenty-five years," replied the American.
"And then?"
“That's when it gets really interesting," answered the American, “When your business is really big, you start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And then?" asked the Mexican.
"After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend evenings having fun with your friends."
Yikes! Think about your ‘destination’, you may already be there!
