Synchronizing PDF Queues = Merging PDF Queues
The result of the synchronization depends on
whether properties of your local PDF Queue or the
CertifiedPDF.net Queue were locked or not. The fol-
lowing scenarios are possible:
• Properties not locked: not in your local PDF
Queue and not in the CertifiedPDF.net Queue
• Properties locked in the CertifiedPDF.net
Queue
• Properties locked in the local PDF Queue
Synchronizing your local PDF Queue implies that the
settings of its properties will be “merged” with the
settings of the CertifiedPDF.net Queue. Your local
PDF Queue and the CertifiedPDF.net Queue will be,
as it were, superimposed.
The general rule that applies when you synchronize
your local PDF Queue with CertifiedPDF.net is that
“the CertifiedPDF.net Queue wins”: The settings of
the PDF Queue on CertifiedPDF.net will override
those of your local PDF Queue, with a few excep-
tions. The following can happen:
1 You download and install a PDF Queue from
CertifiedPDF.net on Monday. It becomes a
local PDF Queue in Instant PDF. Let’s call it
local PDF Queue version 1 (v1).
2 You edit your local PDF Queue on Tuesday.
Nothing happens to the corresponding PDF
Queue on CertifiedPDF.net. The version of your
local PDF Queue changes to v2.
Your local PDF Queue is then more recent than the
corresponding PDF Queue on CertifiedPDF.net. Yet, it
will not need synchronizing because the PDF Queue
on CertifiedPDF.net (v1) has not changed in the
mean time.
3 The PDF Queue on CertifiedPDF.net is updated
and a new version of the PDF Queue is pub-
lished on Wednesday: CertifiedPDF.net
Queue v2.
4 You synchronize your local PDF Queue with
CertifiedPDF.net on Thursday.
Synchronizing your local PDF Queue with the CertifiedPDF.net
Queue: superimposing their properties.
