Ad Upload Server

Not Logged In

You need to be Logged In to use this service.


Instructions

  • you must be logged in. New users click "Create Account" to create an account first. Users of the previous upload server will also have to create a new account.
  • Mac compatible file formats only.
  • Please include ALL screen fonts, printer fonts and files related to the ad(s).
  • Double-check your ad size and colour, if any, with the Ottawa Citizen's specs for the space booked on the run/insertion date(s). Uploads must not exceed 200MB in file size. Compress your files together if possible to reduce file sizes during transfer and to keep their original file format identities intact.
  • Depending on your network connection, file uploads may take a few minutes if the file is large. Once your upload has started, do not close your browser window. In fact, it is a good idea not to browse the web in other browser windows while the upload is in progress---if you crash your browser, you'll lose the upload and you'll have to start again!
  • If there are any special instructions for the ad, please fill them out in detail in the space provided.
  • Your instructions and other file information will be forwarded to the Citizen ad department automatically once your upload has been completed.
  • You will receive an automatically generated confirmation message (automated through the server) by e-mail when your upload has been successfully sent. (However, if you wish to confirm the actual reception of your electronic file(s), please contact your Ottawa Citizen representative.)
