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.
