Virtual Printer
Presenting a PDF Queue As a Virtual Printer
You can allow Instant PDF to present the PDF Queue
as a virtual printer. This means that the PDF Queue
will appear as a “printer” in the list of Printers and
Faxes (Windows) or on the desktop (Mac OS). You
can then create Certified PDF documents simply by
printing to this virtual printer from within any
application in Windows or in the Mac OS.
You may want to use a different method, however,
in Mac OS X or in applications where you can use
Instant PDF as a plug-in. See:
• “Creating a Certified PDF Document in QuarkX-
Press 7 or 8” on page 35
• “Creating a Certified PDF Document in Adobe
InDesign CS3, CS4 or CS5” on page 36
• “Creating a Certified PDF Document in Adobe
Illustrator CS3, CS4 or CS5” on page 37
• “Creating a Certified PDF Document in Adobe
Acrobat 8 or 9” on page 38
To configure a PDF Queue for use with a virtual
printer:
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 Virtual Printer category.
5 Select the option Allow Virtual Printer.
6 Select a PostScript Printer Description (PPD)
file, following the on-screen instructions in
the Help area.
If one or more properties in this category is
locked, see “Locking” on page 93.
Check the categories Virtual Printer and Post-
Script to PDF and make sure that these prop-
erties have been correctly configured too.
If one or more properties in this category is
locked, see “Locking” on page 93.
