Creates PDF files for high-quality print production (for example, for digital printing or for separations to an imagesetter or platesetter), but does not create files that are PDF/X-compliant. In this case, the quality of the content is the highest consideration. The objective is to maintain all the information in a PDF file that a commercial printer or print service provider needs to print the document correctly. This set of options uses PDF 1.4, converts colors to CMYK, downsamples color and grayscale images to 300 ppi and monochrome images to 1200 ppi, embeds subsets of all fonts, and preserves transparency (for file types capable of transparency).

Where do we stand today, if we look back on the history of information graphics? Very few realms of intellectual and aesthetic endeavor pulse with such anticipation like the field of information visualization. The digitalization of communication has brought with it in the last three decades an enormous upswing in information graphics and computer-assisted visualization. For many years we have seen how new possibilities for visually presenting information and fresh technical tools have continually emerged in this field. Designers, programmers, editors, and researchers develop ideas on a daily basis on how information displays, big and small, could enrich our everyday lives in the future.
In the midst of this forward-looking enthusiasm is an awareness that we stand on the shoulders of giants; yet such awareness is not quite fully fledged, and our knowledge of the history of information graphics is but piecemeal. In lectures, seminars, or book chapters on the topic of information visualization, the names and works of individual forerunners are often mentioned, like William Playfair, Charles-Joseph Minard, or Florence Nightingale, yet the more far-reaching dynamics and achievements of historical information visualization remain in the shadows or are known only to specialist historians.
This volume looks at Western information graphics and shows the timeframe that is well documented in the archives of Europe and North America: from the Middle Age manuscript culture in Europe through the Renaissance and modern era to the European and North American mass media of the 20th century. A central insight that arises out of this overview is the tremendous wealth of examples that have been passed down to us from the written cultures of Europe and North America. For each work that is illustrated in this book, there are innumerous others that are not shown. Alone the history of cartography comprises entire specialist libraries of literature no less important than anatomical, zoological, and botanical graphics.
Jen's and Nigel's books are like that. They don't pretend to be the book about joy in visualization or the book about science graphics. They are Nigel's take on gentle humor and joy in visualization and Jen's take on how to build science graphics. There's value in such subjectivity, I believe.

A great coffee table book. It charts the evolution of visual communication design, with hundreds of graphics. The audience is people who are interested in information design, but it has general interest appeal. Anyone who picks it up will find something interesting.
For simple graphics, providing a succinct, informative text alternative is usually fine. But for complex graphics, it's not enough to provide a screen reader user with only short alternative text, such as "population graph." You also need to think about the information that the graphic conveys, such as the categories of data being shown, trends, and maximum and minimum values.
Data visualization is not eye candy; rather, it is a tool that turns data into actionable insights. Already in my early studies, I learned that information graphics can be literally a matter of life or death.

We often get questions about what to do with a PDF file found on the internet (either through a search or from a website). PDF is a file type--just like Word or Excel are file types--that preserves text, formatting, and graphics. PDFs display various types of content, such as brochures and reports. 2ff7e9595c
