MAKE & MEND: YOUR EDITABLE EVENT PACK You do not need an Illustrator subscription just to make this flyer. Inkscape keeps editable SVG and PDF/PNG locally. Adobe Express also offers a free flyer maker; choose the route that suits you. This pack does not claim every paid-tool feature or professional print readiness. Everything here is FICTIONAL. Replace all sample event details and the QR before use. No event is booked, hosted or posted. YOUR FILES - flyer-original.svg: editable A4 flyer; matching PDF and PNG included. - social-original.svg: editable 1080 × 1080 social layout; matching PNG included. - “revised” versions show a later time and blue top strip, so you can compare two editions. Start with either edition and give your own files new names. - demo-qr.svg/png: a demonstration code containing exactly https://example.org/, NOT an event page. OPEN AND EDIT 1. Use desktop Inkscape (official app: https://inkscape.org/). The app is not included or installed by this pack. Open flyer-original.svg with File > Open, then File > Save As to save your own editable copy. 2. Check the font first. The design uses Liberation Sans, which is NOT bundled. If it is missing, Inkscape may substitute another font and change spacing. Use an available font deliberately through the Text and Font controls, and check every line against the supplied preview PNG. Apply your chosen font to both layouts; check for clipping, overlaps and unexpected line breaks before exporting. This pack does not install fonts automatically. The PDF preserves the supplied appearance with embedded font subsets, but is not your editable SVG master. 3. Press T for the Text tool and click INSIDE a visible text line. Select its text and type your replacement. Change the organiser, title, tagline, date, time, venue/address, description and entry terms. The document's metadata title is not the visible headline. Long lines do not automatically wrap: shorten them, reduce the font size or rearrange them to fit. 4. Press F1 for the Selector. Click the thin top strip, then a bottom palette colour to change its fill. Keep the QR black on white. 5. Open social-original.svg and Save As a new name. Repeat the same details and colour choices. The flyer and social image are separate layouts: editing one does NOT update the other. Compare date, time and venue side by side. REPLACE THE QR, NOT JUST ITS CAPTION 6. Prepare a public HTTPS event-information address. This pack does not host that page. Anyone can decode the address: do not use private sign-in links, passwords or secret tokens. 7. Open https://free4allhub.com/tools/qr/. Paste your complete link into “Exact HTTPS address” and choose “Generate QR files”. Compare the whole generated address with your intended destination, including any query or fragment. Download the SVG and save the editable JSON project too. 8. In each Inkscape layout, select the old QR group and delete it. Choose File > Import and select your new QR SVG. If prompted, choose editable objects, not a linked external file. Keep the code grouped and square; lock its aspect ratio before resizing. Position it in the old QR area and retain its entire white margin. Update the small “DEMO QR · example.org” caption. Changing the caption alone DOES NOT change the encoded address. 9. A static code cannot update itself after saving or printing. If the destination changes, regenerate the QR and replace it in BOTH layouts. Export again. Scan the actual saved image with a trusted device and compare the full decoded address before opening it. Test a physical print at its intended size and location before distributing it. Increase the code size if necessary; never stretch or crop it. SAVE, EXPORT AND RETURN 10. Save both SVG masters. Flyer PDF: File > Save a Copy, choose PDF, use the A4 page and embedded fonts where offered. Keep your SVG too. Open the exported PDF and check every line and QR. Ask a commercial printer about bleed, colour and PDF requirements before ordering; these files are not PDF/X or CMYK print proofs. 11. PNG: File > Export (Ctrl+Shift+E), choose Page, select PNG and a filename. For the social image choose 1080 pixels wide and confirm 1080 high. The supplied A4 PNG is 1240 × 1754; for a higher-resolution export you can choose 300 dpi. Do not accidentally export only a selection. 12. Close the document, reopen your saved SVG and confirm the edits remain. Make a small second change and export under a new filename. Open that export too. Keep the old version until the new one is correct. 13. In BOTH layouts, check all details, spelling, legibility and the exact QR destination. Remove the fictional-template warning only after replacing and checking all sample details. Nothing here automatically prints, posts or shares your files. CHECKED AND NOT CHECKED Desktop Inkscape file exports and reopening were checked. GUI edit/save, browser downloads, real-phone scanning and physical printing remain unverified. Software decoding of the supplied final PNG/PDF files confirmed the demonstration address. That does not guarantee scanning on a phone or paper.
