Desktop Publishing
What Is Desktop Publishing?
Desktop Publishing (DTP) is the production of printed matter by means of a desktop computer having a layout program that integrates text and graphics. It is the process through which the translated and localized content is given its final touches and shape, keeping the original document structure, layout, and format. A complete desktop publishing process involves the combination of typesetting (choosing fonts and text layout), graphic design, page layout (how it all fits on the page), and printing the document. Our DTP cycle includes the below processes:
- Typesetting
- Character, paragraph and page formatting
- Resizing images and graphics
- Converting file formats
- Fixing orientation issues
- Fixing misalignment issues
- Fixing graphic and format issues
- Checking headers and footers for consistency
- Creating indexes and table of contents (TOC)
- Sorting indexes and TOCs alphabetically
- Creating PostScript/PDF files
- Final quality checkup
