ProofreadNOW.com
Adds New
For Immediate Release
Company Adds QuarkXPress and
Annotated PDF
(February 26, 2002) Topsfield,
MA – ProofreadNOW.com, the leading provider of 24/7
copyediting and proofreading services, announced the addition of two new
formats to its proofreading capabilities. Phil Jamieson, ProofreadNOW.com’s
president, listed the two new formats as QuarkXPress and Annotated Acrobat.
QuarkXPress. In
addition to MS Word, WordPerfect, PDF, and plain text, customers can now submit
QuarkXPress documents for proofreading. “This is a boon for our advertising and
PR clients,” stated Jamieson, “since so many of them are heavy users of
QuarkXPress. All the figures say that QuarkXPress is the number one publishing
tool at advertising firms, so we knew we had to add it to our service list.”
ProofreadNOW operates an
Internet-based server to accept customers’ documents for proofreading and
copyediting. Securely submitted documents are professionally copyedited, proofread,
and returned to the customer in as little as one hour or up to one week,
depending on the customer’s turnaround needs. All changes and suggestions made
by the Company’s proofreaders are subject to approval by the customer, who has
final authority on everything. Bill Purdin, president and creative manager of
Legend, Inc., a Marblehead, Massachusetts, advertising agency (www.legendinc.com), stated “ProofreadNOW
is just about the most valuable outsourcing service we use. Nothing from our
shop ever goes to a client without first going through the ProofreadNOW
system.”
Annotated Acrobat.
Jamieson also announced the availability of what the Company calls ‘annotated
acrobat.’ When submitting a PDF file, the customer can request that copyedits
and proofreader’s notes be placed directly in the PDF layout, rather than on a
separate page. “Our test customers really love this format, because it makes
processing our changes so much easier. This will be highly desirable by those
agencies and marketing departments who render pre-press drafts in PDF format,”
noted Jamieson.
