Overview:
Whether your production facility remains in-house or you have an outsourced
arrangement, a knowledge of underlying technologies and associated jargon is
essential. This course explains the current, common technologies used within the
production workflow:- manuscript submission systems; file delivery mechanisms (such as
FTP); PDF and PDF-X; use of SGML and XML for online products. A portion of the day
will be dedicated to a 'clinic' where delegates are invited to bring along specific
problems for discussion.
Programme:
* Manuscript submission systems - overview
* File delivery protocols such as FTP
* Common typesetting systems
* XML/SGML and DTDs
* Preflighting software - what is it and who should do it?
* Common problems with PDFs
* Best practice:- housekeeping; file naming; directory structures
* Standard image formats and their uses; resolutions for various applications
* Delegate clinic for discussion of production-related problems (delegates will
be encouraged to submit questions in advance)
Learning objectives - by the end of the course delegates will be able to:
Understand the types of manuscript submission and typesetting systems available;
comprehend the basics of XML/SGML and DTDs; recognize the benefits of pre-flighting
software, be aware of common problems with PDFs; and understand best practice for
general housekeeping of electronic files.
Who should attend:
This course will help people with between 1 and 3 years' experience in a technical or
non-technical role, who wish to improve their knowledge and use of technology within
