What is the layout of a file?

The layout (also known as the design) of printed materials refers to how the various texts and images are arranged on the page. A good layout makes the printed material more appealing. The layout also determines which information stands out first.

Maintaining the correct layout when printing

Commonly used programs for designing print materials are Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign. To ensure that the layout of the print material remains intact, we recommend submitting the document as a PDF. This file format ensures that documents always look the same, regardless of the software used to view or print them.
