Checking the CertifiedPDF.net
Status of Your PDF Queue in
Instant PDF
CertifiedPDF.net Statuses
You can check the CertifiedPDF.net status of your
PDF Queue in the main Instant PDF window. Simply
select a PDF Queue in the list of PDF Queues and you
can see its status in the Information area:
Up-to-date with CertifiedPDF.net
Your PDF Queue in Instant PDF is up-to-date with
the corresponding PDF Queue on CertifiedPDF.net.
Synchronizing with CertifiedPDF.net is not neces-
sary.
Not up-to-date with CertifiedPDF.net
The selected PDF Queue in Instant PDF needs syn-
chronizing because a new version of this PDF Queue
has been published in a Specification on Certified-
PDF.net.
See “Synchronizing a PDF Queue with Certified-
PDF.net” on page 130.
Unable to verify status for synchronizing with
CertifiedPDF.net
The status of the PDF Queue in Instant PDF cannot
be verified with the corresponding PDF Queue on
CertifiedPDF.net because there is no connection
between Instant PDF and the CertifiedPDF.net Web
site. Possible causes are:
• Your computer cannot connect to the
Internet.
• You cannot log on to CertifiedPDF.net. Maybe
you are not a registered member of the Certi-
fiedPDF.net community yet or the e-mail
address or password specified in the Instant
PDF Preferences is incorrect.

Not synchronizing with CertifiedPDF.net
The PDF Queue you have in Instant PDF is not com-
pared with a corresponding PDF Queue on Certified-
PDF.net to check whether it needs synchronizing.
Possible causes are:
• The PDF Queue does not originate from Certi-
fiedPDF.net. The PDF Queue may have been
imported into Instant PDF but not (yet)
published on CertifiedPDF.net. You can
synchronize this PDF Queue by reimporting it
into Instant PDF.
• The PDF Queue was originally downloaded
from CertifiedPDF.net and installed in Instant
PDF but the Specification containing the
corresponding PDF Queue is no longer avail-
able on CertifiedPDF.net. The Specification
Publisher may have deleted or “unpublished”
the PDF Queue. Unpublishing a Specification
means that only the Specification Publisher
can view it and modify it but it is not avail-
able for Subscribing Members on the public
part of the Web site.
