Professional desktop publishing for text that fits perfectly in any language

Every language has its own unique set of challenges – so each language comes with its own set of rules. While French, for example, is longer than German, languages such as Mandarin and Russian present layout-related challenges when it comes to typography. Apostroph offers professional desktop publishing to ensure that neither a Chinese character nor a Cyrillic letter go missing and that hyphenations are always in the right place.

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.

The size of orders you send by e-mail depends on the limitations of your server. You can send data of up to 200 MB via our myAPOSTROPH customer portal.

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