README.md

A slightly improved thesis template

What's new:

  • modern packages (biblatex, cleveref, better fonts)
  • less confusing directory structure
  • slightly more useful examples (figures, diagrams, tables, code listings), structure hints, some goodies
  • autobuilding of abstract PDF/A from metadata
  • university-wide variants of the front page (nature faculty&bioinformatics!)
  • Czech localization with nicely named references

See the pre-built version for details

How-to

  1. Type make, check that everything compiles. You should get a thesis.pdf that passes the PDF/A validation. If not, complain.
  2. Fill in metadata.tex and all xmpdata files.
  3. Look at the example code (there are several hints), remember it, erase it.
  4. Write the thesis.
  5. Submit and defend the thesis.

PDF/A

With a bit of luck, you should get PDF/A right out of LaTeX.

A working PDF/A validator that can point out exact problems is here: https://github.com/mff-cuni-cz/cuni-thesis-validator

Common PDF/A problems include:

Solutions:

  • use pdfa.sh to convert PDFs to PDF/A-compatible form the "hard way" (although this does not retain the PDF/A metadata mark, see comments in the script).
  • read the commentary by Martin Mareš (that describes most of the common problems) here: https://mj.ucw.cz/vyuka/bc/pdfaq.html
  • use pdfa.sh as a last resort for thesis.pdf if everything other fails
