 +===== 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).
