      We have received technical specifications in media kits lately requesting artwork be supplied as:

      “Composite PDF PC format”

      Any ideas what this would be?

      Someone who doesn't know what he's talking about?

      “Composite”, that makes sense in a color workflow — i.e., don't send a color separated file. “PDF” speaks for itself. But “PC”!? PDF files have always been platform independent. There are a few other file formats that claim platform independence, such as InDesign (its files still contain a marker for Intel/Motorola byte order), but for PDFs it never has been an issue.

      “PC” might stand for something entirely different, though. “Politically Correct” comes to mind — that would make sense, in a media environment :-D “Please ensure your advert is p.c.”

      I got a similar media pack instructing that only PDFs made from Macintosh would suffice… I just rolled my eyes.
