File Naming Conventions for Newspapers Recommended Practice Page number Precede page numbers with a separator, e.g. a hyphen or underscore to make it discreet from the issue date and establish the page number space with enough space to accommodate the maximum number of pages in any given issue: e.g. -001 or _010 if <999 pages is expected; -01 or _10 if <99 pages is expected Supplements To identify Supplements to an issue in the chronology of the issue add a complementary statement as part of the file name. E.g. If a two-page supplement appears as part of an eight-page issue, page numbering would appear chronologically: 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10 If a two-page supplement has been inserted into an eight-page issue but is not printed as part of the issue, page numbering would appear with a distinction: 01,02,03,04,S1,S2,05,06,07,08 If a two-page supplement appears inside an eight-page issue, where the supplement is unnumbered, page numbering would be 01,02,03,04,04a,04b,05,06,07,08 File format extension This will be appended to the file automatically. E.g. .jpg, .tif, .txt or .pdf The resulting file name would look something like this: EFP19840423_01.jpg. NEra19840423-010.pdf EFP19840423_04a.tif June 2012 OurDigitalWorld
