Instructions for getting files from ShareLatex into astroph

Step 1: fix figures in ShareLatex

If you see file-eps-to-pdf.pdf files in your sharelatex, do the following:

1. rename file-eps-to-pdf.pdf to file.pdf
2. edit sharelatex figures to use file.pdf instead of file.eps
3. compile, check for errors, fix

Step 2: fix big tables/figures/floats

This is what was preventing heather's tex file from working on astroph. add \clearpage right before big tables to force them to start on a new page. This removes the weird float errors on the astrph side

Step 3: Download sharelatex files and strip comments from main.tex (or whatever the main file is)

The magical command is:

perl -pe 's/(^|[^\\])%.*/\1%/' < old.tex > new.tex

also, rename this file to whatever the tex file is on heather's astroph and ken's astroph accounts (heather's is main.tex, ken's is main1.tex)

Step 4: fix bib references

It seems there are multiple ways to do this, so of course we each got it to work a different way.

Fix Ken's references:

Compile file on share latex, save output.bbl, cut and paste into Ken's stripped tex file from step 3.

Fix Heather's references:

Compile file on share latex, save output.bbl to main.bbl (make sure name matches main.tex and that \bibliograph{main}{} is in the main.tex

Step 5: update astroph tex files

upload ken's main1.tex file or heather's main.tex / main.bbl files, and try to process.

If there are errors, *search* for ERROR and fix or get help.

• floats -- > need clear page
• images --> need to be uploaded or converted or match the tex

Step 6: update metadata

• Check that all the authors are listed in metadata and in correct order as paper
• check that title is correct
• check that abstract is correct
• fix xx pages, yy figures, zz tables to match what is in paper.

Step 7: hit submit

• refresh until it says submitted
• 11:00am HST seems to be the magical deadline for updates, this date will change on Jan 2.
