in need of some help from the programming types

[self biased]

I found a program to generate cards for a game i play: Vampire: the Eternal Struggle. the game is currently unsupported and this program would readily generate proxy cards so that i can introduce new players to the game, and even generate a fan set to a decent print standard. a download link is here, and the program's homepage is here. I've attached what i believe to be the source code to the program and the resulting .pdf when it is properly used.

basically the program takes a .csv file, eats it, and poops out a .pdf that is viable cards. the problem is that i have no earthly idea how to properly format the .csv file to achieve appropriate results. Trial and error has gotten me nowhere, and the original developer has so far ignored my pleas for enlightenment. it is under these circumstances that i turn to y'all to aid me. I really like this game, but the cards are currently scarce, and i'd rather see people playing the game, than not playing the game.

Not sure what you're looking for exactly.

Open the CSV up in Excel and the formatting should be clear. The first row is even the column names:

Name,Type,Clan,Adv,Group,Capacity,Disciplines,Card Text,Set,Title,Banned,Artist,Abombwe,Animalism,Auspex,Celerity,Chimerstry,Daimoinon,Dementation,Dominate,Fortitude,Melpominee,Mytherceria,Necromancy,Obeah,Obfuscate,Obtenebration,Potence,Presence,Protean,Quietus,Sanguinus,Serpentis,Spiritus,Temporis,Thanatosis,Thaumaturgy,Valeren,Vicissitude,Visceratika

Here's the CSV in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...VE&usp=sharing

if i try to open the vtescrypt.csv in the program and have it change it to the pdf, it spits our an error message.

Those cards are looking good.

turns out Open Document =/= Excell. Google Docs preserves the formatting and gave me files i could use. thanks for your help, Asher.
