Chapter 8: Managing PDF Queues120
Importing a PDF Queue
Using an Externally Supplied PDF Queue
There may be situations in which you receive a PDF
Queue from someone to whom you have to deliver
Certified PDF documents. This can be a colleague, a
customer or a supplier, for example, a printer. They
may have created a PDF Queue, sent it to you and
asked you to create your PDF documents using that
particular PDF Queue. In this case, you can import
the PDF Queue into Instant PDF.
The following will happen when you import a PDF
Queue into Instant PDF:
• The imported PDF Queue is added to the list of
PDF Queues in the main Instant PDF window.
• If necessary, the name of the PDF Queue will
be made unique and you will get a corre-
sponding warning.
• If you imported a PDF Queue which originated
from CertifiedPDF.net, the PDF Queue’s Certi-
fiedPDF.net status will be verified.
• If the imported PDF Queue is invalid, you will
receive a warning and the Enfocus PDF Queue
Editor will open, allowing you to correct
configuration errors.
Synchronizing a PDF Queue by Reimporting
You can also reimport a PDF Queue, i.e. import a
PDF Queue which already existed in your PDF
Queues List. If you do this, you will have the fol-
lowing options:
• You can install the imported PDF Queue as a
new PDF Queue. Its name will then be made
unique.
• You can synchronize the existing PDF Queue
with the imported PDF Queue. You will then
have to select the PDF Queue in the list which
you wish to synchronize. This PDF Queue will
be “merged” with the imported PDF Queue. If
some of the properties of both PDF Queues
have been configured differently, it will be
the settings of the imported PDF Queue that
will be maintained. The following scenarios
are possible:
For example, suppose the review properties of the
PDF Queues have different settings:
If the existing PDF Queue is synchronized, it will be
the settings of the imported PDF Queue that will be
retained: Open PDF file automatically in Adobe
Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

You do not need to reimport a CertifiedPDF.net
PDF Queue to synchronize it. The status of a
CertifiedPDF.net is checked automatically and
you can simply synchronize your PDF Queue
with CertifiedPDF.net at a click of a button.

fiedPDF.net” on page 130.
