Chapter 7: Creating and Editing PDF Queues106
Importing Existing PostScript Files
If you allow importing existing PostScript files into a
PDF Queue, you will be using Instant PDF in a simi-
lar way as Acrobat Distiller:
1 You import (or open) a PostScript file in
Instant PDF.
2 You convert the PostScript file to a Certified
PDF file.
The main difference is, however, that you will not
have a regular PDF document, but a preflighted and
output-ready Certified PDF document.

Correction
Correcting PDF Documents Using Action Lists
When the PDF document has been created using a
PDF Queue, its technical quality can be assured in
the following stages of the process:
1 Correction
2 Preflighting
3 Review: visually inspecting the PDF document
in Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or in any
application of your choice.
The first of these quality assurance stages, correc-
tion, can be done automatically by one or more
Enfocus Action Lists. An Action List is a series of
Enfocus actions grouped together as a single com-
mand to carry out (corrective) tasks automatically in
a PDF document. This stage is optional: you can
assign one or more Action Lists to a PDF Queue if
you wish but you are not obliged to do so.
You cannot create Action Lists in Instant PDF —you
need Enfocus PitStop Pro to do this— but you can
include them in your workflow by assigning them
to a PDF Queue.
To add one or more Action Lists to a PDF Queue:
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 Correction category.
5 Click the + button to open the Select Action
List dialog.
6 Select one or more Action Lists you want to
add, either From Database or From file
7 Click OK. The Action Lists of your choice are
added to the bottom of the list of Action Lists
to run on the PDF file. The Action Lists appear
in this list in the order in which they will be
run on the PDF documents: the Action List on
top of the list will start first.
