RE: document production basics for consumer product documentation - basics

["Jessica Weissman" <Jessica -dot- Weissman -at- hillcrestlabs -dot- com>]

Thanks, but this is not quite what I need.  I am looking for information not on the things an author needs to do to hand off a PDF to a book producer.  I am more interested in the production process and what I might need to do as input to, say, the four-color foldout that will be packed with our product.  The manufacturer is doing some of the work, but I need to know about the production steps so I can estimate times and so I can help my manager decide what to insist that the manufacturer handle.

But thanks for the reference - it's an interesting document from a book publishing point of view.
