1) Creating your business card using OpenOffice

Contact: Philippe Gambette, [email protected]

Example: CartesVisite.pdf

Just open the CartesVisite.odg file, make the appropriate changes to customize them, copy them in all business cards of the page, and print without adding any margin.

2) Creating your business card using TeX

Contact: Karel Brinda, [email protected]

Example: _EXAMPLE.single.pdf, _EXAMPLE.sheet.pdf

All resources for building LIGM business cards with XeLaTeX are located in the latex directory. Remark that compilation with latex and pdflatex programs will not work. Program xelatex must be used instead (see Makefile). It should be part of all state-of-the-art TeX distributions.

Prerequisities

• Unix-like system (Linux, MacOS, ...).
• XeLaTeX (usually part of standard TeX environments).
• PDFjam.
• TeX package libertine (installation on Ubuntu by sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra)
• TeX package memoir.

Compilation

cd ligm-business*/latex
make clean && make -j

Creating your own business card

Copy the example (_EXAMPLE.tex), modify it, and run make. You can eventually add your business card to the repository (fork the repository, add your LaTeX source, commit the changes, and create a GitHub pull request).

Please, do not change the cardtemplate.sty which is shared for all people. All modifications should be done just in your .tex file (see all lines of the example). If you need some particular modification of the template, contact me.
