Actually, in this case, I'm fairly sure that she did. She's a smart one, the client, within her framework of experience.

Even so...let's say that the client wasn't. Right? You go into a print shop and tell them that you're using these images you have, here, in your hands, for a book. Why--in what universe--would it make sense to scan them all to a single PDF file? ????? I mean...du-uh.

I try to frequently think, "well, if I didn't know XXX, what would I do around YYYY," but in this case, I really can't see it, given that they are selling not only their technical capabilities, but their expertise, too, yes??? Almost every "print shop' today--other than copy shops, real print shops--offers some sort of fundamental print layout/book design capability, from one-more of their employees. Why didn't they ask him/her?

They did follow my requested 600dpi. That, they did. And then slapped them all into a single PDF. (smh)
