Usage

Point your web browser to the directory where you installed the scripts. The page has instructions on how to use the scripts.

The form takes 5 pipe ( | ) separated values per line:

• Placeholder title (SC13 Technical Program - Poster).
• QRC URL (http://example.com)
• Poster Number (#1 - if you want a pound sign you need to include it in the string)
• Poster section (ACM)
• Poster Title

The URL will automatically be shortened via bit.ly. Use Chrome or Safari for the best results when printing.
