When
Schedules get printed at the last possible second because everyone is making schedule changes up until the last possible second.
Files
The files needed to do the schedules:
- Schedule.xls which is probably in last year's SNAFU Con Staff dropbox zip file. This file is generally in the room for the staff, NOT the graphics
- schedule.indd - can be found in last year's graphics archive. This file is the pocket schedule which takes the PDFs from the excel spreadsheet and lays them out for one pocket schedule. This file is used directly in the following indesign file so there usually isn't a PDF.
- schedule spread.indd - can be found in last year's graphics archive. This file is the spread for the pocket schedule. It takes the previous indesign file and makes it into a printable spread to print on our duplex printers. Pocket schedules are usually printed directly from this file so there is no exported PDF.
There may be more files related to the back page which generally isn't completed in excel due to the graphics involved for the map.
Slashed Lines
There are slashed lines in the schedules from 2014 and 2015. Get rid of them in 2016.
- They do not export to PDF so large schedules should be printed directly out of excel if you want to keep them.
- They DO NOT export into PDF and ABSOLUTELY DO NOT scale down for the pocket schedules at ALL.
- A solid gray is required for the pocket schedules.
- They do not print on the Brother printers at all and MUST be printed on the HP. Which isn't the end of the world because the HP is a power horse that holds a whole ream of paper and costs about $30 for 14k pages.
