Desktop Publishing

In recent years our desktop publishing (page layout) has been almost exclusively the preparation of technical documents in PDF format for digital submission to funding organizations. Researchers' text, graphics, tables, and equations are laid out in an easy-to-read format and compiled into user-friendly PDF files. Hyperlinked TOCs, reference citations, and cross-references make the final products useful and accessible. The degree of interactivity in each PDF is dictated by client needs, budget, and the requirements of the funding body.

We have also produced technical documentation for both offset and digital presses - see the GCAGS and HDI tabs above.

The Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) at Rice University, Houston, Texas, produces periodic reports to their main funding body, the National Science Foundation (NSF) (see Services > Editing). As such, we assist them in meeting NSF reporting guidelines and produce a PDF that has fully linked TOCs, reference citations, cross-references, and Web links.

 

The 2000 Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies Transactions encompassed 886 pages of technical papers, front matter and advertising pages. We coordinated submissions from 108 authors, 60 advertisers, and two technical editors to produce a hard copy and CD ROM version of this publication. This book was printed on an offset press using high-resolution PDF files. The inside is largely B&W and the covers are 4-color.

This volume and its companion CD ROM are offered for sale through the Bureau of Economic Geology, Austin, Texas.
