Recommended File Naming Convention
Files have no password security or other restrictions to access.
The file(s) contain all pages intended to be in the book—including blanks—with a single PDF file for all interior pages in correct sequence with uniform orientation and geometry through-out.
One complete set of files—with all pages start to end—is provided for each ISBN when a title has multiple versions or volumes
Files are named to include 13-digit ISBN (or other unique customer code) in the file name, followed by an underscore, and end with text from the following list to identify what part the file is used to produce. There should be no variation from this naming without prior approval, as this can disrupt workflow automation.
“text” (“text1,” “text2” if more than one file)
“cover”
“jacket”
“backCover”
“caseside”
“frontCover”
“tab”
“onlay”
“bellyBand”
“jWrap”
“boxWrap”
“card”
“insertBound”
“insertLoose”
“frontEndsheet”
“backEndsheet”
“die”
EXAMPLE: Files submitted for a stamped casebound book with a jacket and printed endsheets should be named:
1234567890123_text
1234567890123_jacket
1234567890123_die
1234567890123_frontEndsheet
1234567890123_backEndsheet
