# Can you work with print files that are not created in Adobe?

Your print designs must be submitted in PDF format and should follow our [Basic Five](https://pandagm.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PandaGM-GraphicDesignGuidebook-V4-0922.pdf#page=5) design guidelines. Although we recommend using Adobe software applications to create your PDFs, we can work with PDF files created by other software – like Affinity, for example. Ask your Prepress Specialist for more information.
