HOW TO SUBMIT DIGITAL FILES:
If you submit a digital file, we prefer a PDF file that includes all links and fonts.
For information on PDF settings, click here.
You may also submit files from the above native applications. Please be sure to "collect" for output so that all of the linked files and fonts will be included. The single biggest source of file errors is not including the linked artwork and fonts.
Texoma Living! owns more than 12,000 Postscript® and True Type® font styles, but invariably the one you use we won't have, so send or embed them anyway.
1. Files under 4MB in size can be sent via email to ads@texomaliving.com
2. Files of 4MB or greater (or any file if you wish) may be sent via FTP using any FTP Client software application such as Fetch, Transmit, or Cyberduck for Mac; SmartFTP, or RootFTP for PC. We cannot be responsible for their use on your system, but we have had many positive reviews of each. Contact us directly for FTP instructions.
