Professional desktop publishing –so that your texts fit perfectly into the layout in all languages

Different languages bring new challenges, as each language comes with its own set of rules. While French, for example, is longer than German, languages such as Chinese or Russian bring layout challenges in terms of typography. To ensure that neither a Chinese character nor a Cyrillic letter gets lost along the way and that word splits are in the right place, Apostroph offers professional desktop publishing services.

Any questions?

You can send us the data by e-mail or via myAPOSTROPH. Thanks to SSL encryption, this is also suitable for transmitting confidential data.

Essentially, we accept all formats. Files that cannot be edited – including PDFs, for example – are converted. If you are unsure whether we can process your format, just ask us.

A PDF file is generally unsuitable because it cannot be edited. However, we can convert the PDF, although that could result in changes to the original formatting. If a conversion is not possible, the translation is typed directly into a Word file, which inevitably increases the workload.

If you have the original image file, we can usually translate the text directly in the image. Otherwise, the translation will be delivered as a Word file.

That’s possible. Please send us your font as a font file.
