Creating PDF Documents the Enfocus Way: the One-Step Process to an
Output-Ready PDF File
Creating a Certified PDF Document in One Step
Processing steps
Creating a Certified PDF document by using an Enfo-
cus PDF Queue means that you start a Certified PDF
workflow, a complete process which occurs in the
following steps:
1General > Author: A Certified PDF workflow is
started for the PDF document. Metadata is
added to the PDF document: your name,
company and contact details.
2PDF Creation: The PDF document is generated.
3 Processing > Correction: The PDF document
can be corrected using one or more Action
Lists.
4 Processing > Preflight: The PDF document is
preflighted using a Preflight Profile: various
properties of the PDF document are checked
and some of them can be fixed if they are
incorrect.
5Processing > Review: If necessary, you can
review the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat or
Adobe Reader.
6Delivery: The PDF document is saved on a
specific location and can automatically be
sent to a recipient by e-mail or FTP.
Once you have installed Instant PDF and created or
imported the Enfocus PDF Queues of your choice,
creating output-ready PDF documents literally
becomes a one-step process. Moreover, your PDF
document will be a Certified PDF document, so you
can be confident that potential output-related
problems, if any, are checked and fixed in the same
run.
Using Instant PDF, you create a Certified PDF docu-
ment as follows:
1 You simply “send” your source file to an Enfo-
cus PDF Queue.
You can do this in a variety of ways:
• Using a virtual printer, print your source file to
an Enfocus PDF Queue
• Using the QuarkXPress XTension or plug-in for
Adobe InDesign CS3, Adobe InDesign CS4,
Adobe InDesign CS5, Adobe Illustrator CS3,
Adobe Illustrator CS4, Adobe Illustrator CS5 or
Adobe Acrobat, select an Enfocus PDF Queue
and save your source file as a Certified PDF file
