% This is a LaTeX file for creating a business card.

% You just supply a 'guts.tex' file and it makes a set of 10 copies
% per page that you can cut out. I print it on plain paper and
% although the cards are not stiff, people accept them anyway!  The
% advantage is that one can always print more, one can change them
% quickly and they don't cost much.

% This revised version uses standard spacing and so can be printed on
% pre-perferated card stock paper.

% Two variables, xadjust and yadjust can be set to position the cards
% exactly onto card stock.  Print on regular paper, With a bright
% light compare to the stock and measure the change in cm required to
% determine the adjustments.  Be sure that the papers are aligned at
% the feeding edge since they can be slightly different sizes.

% This may not be true anymore:
% With the initial values, businesscard.tex works for both letter and
% a4 paper, giving 5 cards vertically and 2 horizontally.

% This file reads a file called 'guts.tex'.
% Use \\ between lines of the guts.
% You can use pstricks graphics.

% Tom Schneider \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots 2005 Sep 7 \\
% (Note: \dotfill might work nicely, I haven't tried it yet.)
%
% Example to input a file:
% \input workurl.tex
%
% Example vertical space, move down:
% \vspace{3pt} \\
%
% Example vertical space, move up:
% \vspace{-3pt} \\

% Example graphic:
% \rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{0.60}{\includegraphics*{something.eps}}}

% NOTES

% Note: I have inserted '\usepackage{pst-node}' which allows you to
% use the powerful PSTricks. If you don't have this package on your
% computer you will have to install it.

% A4 will have to be redone.
% Thanks to Bill Purvis ([email protected], http://bil.members.beeb.net)
% for help with setting up A4 paper the first time ...

% PAGE LAYOUT

% Cards are 3.5x2 inches.
% The Letter size paper is 8.5x11.
% Together these can be used to precisely lay out 10 cards as follows.

% Horizontal Card Layout:
% | edge   | card 1 | card 2 | edge   |
% | 0.75in | 3.5in  | 3.5in  | 0.75in | = 8.5 wide

% Vertical Card Layout:
% ------------------ top of paper
%   0.5 inch space
% ------------------ top of card 5
%   2.0 inch card 5
% ------------------ top of card 4
%   2.0 inch card 4
% ------------------ top of card 3
%   2.0 inch card 3
% ------------------ top of card 2
%   2.0 inch card 2
% ------------------ top of card 1
%   2.0 inch card 1
% ------------------ bottom of card 1
