Chapter 7: Creating and Editing PDF Queues102
Adobe Illustrator CS3, CS4 or CS5
Where to Start?
You can use Instant PDF as a plug-in for Adobe
Illustrator CS3, CS4 or CS5 which implies that you
configure your PDF Queue to be integrated into
Adobe Illustrator. You will then be able to save your
Adobe Illustrator file as a Certified PDF document
using that PDF Queue.
If you set up a PDF Queue for use with Adobe Illus-
trator CS3, CS4 or CS5, you will have the choice:
• You can use Adobe Illustrator PDF presets in
your Enfocus PDF Queue, in which case you
need to Create and Save an Adobe Illustrator
PDF Preset in a Separate File first. You may
want to do this if you use very specific
settings in your PDF workflow. Of course,
creating presets requires a certain level of
technical expertise because you have to
understand the meaning and impact of all the
options you select. Therefore, it will typically
be the PDF document receiver, e.g. a printer
or publisher, who will create presets and
distribute them to the PDF document creators.
• You can automatically derive the PDF settings
from the Preflight Profile which you use in
your PDF Queue, in which case you just need
to Set Up a PDF Queue for Adobe Illustrator
CS3, CS4 or CS5.
Create and Save an Adobe Illustrator PDF Preset in
a Separate File
When you print your original source documents or
create a PDF file, you always use a number of print-
or PDF-related settings to get the desired output.
You can save or export these settings as a file for
future use. You may want to do this to make them
available to your service providers, clients or PDF
document creators, but also to use them in your
Enfocus PDF Queue.
The PDF-related settings are called presets in Adobe
Illustrator:
• PDF presets, which you use when you export
your Adobe Illustrator documents to PDF
(File > Export).
To create and save an Adobe Illustrator print pre-
set or PDF preset in a separate file:
1 In Adobe Illustrator, Choose Edit > Adobe PDF
Presets on Windows, or File > Adobe PDF Pre-
sets > Define on Mac OS X.
• If necessary, create a new preset or edit an
existing one.
2 Save the preset file in a folder of your choice:
• Save the PDF preset in a *.joboptions file.
3 Set Up a PDF Queue for Adobe Illustrator CS3,
CS4 or CS5 and link the preset file to the PDF
Queue.
Set Up a PDF Queue for Adobe Illustrator CS3, CS4
or CS5
Before you can successfully use the Save As Certified
PDF command from the Adobe Illustrator File menu,
you must set up a PDF Queue that contains the
appropriate settings for Adobe Illustrator.
To configure a PDF Queue for use with Adobe Illus-
trator CS3, CS4 or CS5:
1 In the main Instant PDF window, click the PDF
Queues button to see the list of PDF Queues.
2 Select a PDF Queue in the list and click the
Edit button.
3 Make sure you are in the Advanced Enfocus
PDF Queue Editor: You should see the Stan-
dard button. If not, click the Advanced but-
ton.
4 Click the Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe Illus-
trator CS4 or Adobe Illustrator CS5 category.
For more information about creating PDF
presets, see the Adobe Illustrator documenta-
tion or Help.
