File Naming

Files Naming

All files delivered to the Company should be named according to the following scheme:

Publication body, publication with self cover

nnn_KOD_ww_vl_spot_a.ext

where:
nnn – no. of the page in publication (e.g. 001, 002);
KOD – title code (e.g. POL – Politics);
ww – Issue no. (e.g. 04);
v1 – file version; use if files have more than one language, price, etc. version. Each version should be marked with a consecutive number (e.g. v1, v2, etc.);
spot – special colour employed; use when colours different than CMYK were used in the file;
a – file version; use if it is necessary to upload file correction (consecutive versions should be marked as b, c, etc.);
ext – file extension (e.g. pdf, ps).

Example:

001_POL_04.pdf first page of a publication (self cover)
003_POL_04_a.pdf  first file correction of page three
004_POL_04.pdf  file dedicated for page 4 of the publication
005_POL_04_spot_b.pdf second correction of the file dedicated for page 5, file contains special colour

Covers:

nnn_cover_KOD_ww_v1_spot_a.ext

where:
cover – information that file contains a cover (do not use when publication
contains self cover);
nnn – consecutive no. of cover page in publication
(e.g.: 001_cover...; 002_cover...; 003_cover...);
… – for other symbols see above.

Example:

001_cover_POL_04_spot_a.pdf first correction of page 1 of a cover, cover contains special colour
002_cover_POL_04.pdf file dedicated for page 2 of the cover
003_cover_POL_04_b.pdf second correction of a file dedicated for page 3 of the cover

Other cases:
If there is more than one file per page (e.g. one with content and one with advertising), letters should be added to the page number: 

Example:

001a_POL_04.pdf the first file for page 1
001b_POL_04.pdf the second file for page 1
In such cases, attach a dummy showing the layout of page components.

The Company has a right to impose additional charges for ensuring product quality, if the file naming scheme is not followed.

Polish diacritic characters, spaces and special characters (* >!, etc.) must not be included in the file name. The only non-alphanumeric character allowed is the underscore _ as in the examples above.

Important!
It is absolutely crucial that the file naming scheme be followed, since automatic processing of the files depends on their names.
