+ | ===== Visual Matrix PDFs ===== | ||
+ | The Visual Matrix PDF files include Picnic Time's contact information, the licensed entity logo, the licensed team logo and studio shots of each product for the team. Below are steps for creating the visual matrix PDF files. | ||
+ | - Obtain a list of product [[start:itemcodes|SKUs]] and product names that require visual matrix PDF files from Picnic Time's [[start:posdes#licensing|licensing department]] or see (customer copy) spreadsheets saved here: [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\Licensing]] | ||
+ | - Open the visual matrix spreadsheet:\\ [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\___DAM\Licensing_Assets\VisualMatrix-MASTER.xlsx]] | ||
+ | - Update the lists of products in one of the ''PRODUCTS'' worksheet tabs (do not paste values over the formulas in column ''A''). | ||
+ | - Use the ''ENTER INFO'' sheet to generate a CSV file for one team from the ''MAC CSV'' sheet or the ''PC CSV'' sheet. The entity ''PC CSV'' sheets can be used to generate a CSV file for all teams in an entity. | ||
+ | - <BOOKMARK:step5>Save the ''CSV'' worksheet as a CSV file and close the CSV file in Excel. | ||
+ | - Open the visual matrix template in InDesign:\\ \\PTFILES\___DAM\Licensing_Assets\VisualMatrix-MASTER.indd | ||
+ | - Select the CSV file (from [[start:creativeprocedures#step5|step 5]]) as the Data Source and use Data Merge to create a Merged Document (Window - Utilities - Data Merge). | ||
+ | - Save the InDesign file in the relevant subfolder here: [[\\PTFILES\SharedGraphics\___DAM\Licensing_Assets\]] | ||
+ | - Export three PDF copies; one at ''highest quality'', one at ''200ppi'' and one at ''smallest file size''. | ||
+ | - [[https://acrobat.adobe.com/|Acrobat]] can be used to extract pages as separate files from PDFs (useful when making one visual matrix PDF file for all teams within a licensed entity). | ||
+ | - [[https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/|PDFTK]] can be used to arrange pages if necessary (useful when assembling single PDF pages to make one file for each team). |
