Chapter 2: Creating Certified PDF Documents38
A new job is started in Instant PDF for your Adobe
Illustrator document. Depending on the PDF Queue
settings, the document may be saved as a Certified
PDF document straight away, or you may need to
take certain actions first, such as entering a file
name or reviewing the preflighted document.

Bringing Non-Certified PDF Documents into the
Fold
Instant PDF also allows you to convert regular PDF
files documents to more reliable Certified PDF doc-
uments, even if you do not have access to the
source files.
The advantages of doing this are numerous. Let’s
take the example of a printer who receives a
non-certified document from a designer. It’s a
good idea for him to make the document a Certified
PDF document, because:
• The document is automatically preflighted
with the appropriate Preflight Profile.
• All edits performed in the document after it is
certified can be traced, which means that the
printer eliminates the risk of being held
responsible for faulty output.
Saving an existing PDF document as Certified PDF
Instant PDF adds the option Save as Certified PDF to
your Adobe Acrobat File menu.
To create a Certified PDF document in Adobe Acro-
bat:
1 Open the document for which you want to
start the Certified PDF workflow in Adobe
Acrobat.
2 Choose File > Save as Certified PDF.
3 Select a PDF Queue from the list of Enfocus
PDF Queues in the Enfocus Instant PDF dialog
box.
A description of the Queue appears in the
Print Settings tab. Click the Summary tab for
an overview of the settings in the PDF Queue.
