Hi Martin, Thank you for your comments.
It shouldn't be too big a deal to localise. Really, it's a case of including some of our own branding, changing the Americanised spelling and then changing the page size within the document to one compatible with international paper sizes. I've been in touch with the person who uploaded the file and asked for the source files to make it easy for me to update. Thanks and regards, Stevie On 14 August 2013 14:43, Martin Poulter <infob...@gmail.com> wrote: > I picked up a paper copy of this brochure and I'm very impressed with it. > I think it will be useful at events and partnerships.
