Creating a Certified PDF
Document from PostScript or PDF
Files
Certify Existing Documents
Using Instant PDF, you can convert your existing
PostScript or PDF files to reliable Certified PDF docu-
ments.
For example, if you regularly receive PostScript files
from designers or other suppliers, you can convert
them to Certified PDF documents in a single step.
How to convert PostScript and PDF documents
You can use the Job > New command in Instant PDF
to create new Certified PDF documents from Post-
Script or PDF files.
Alternatively, you can also drag and drop a Post-
Script or PDF file onto the Instant PDF application
icon or its shortcut. Instant PDF will then start
automatically and start a job to convert the Post-
Script or PDF document to a Certified PDF docu-
ment.
To certify PostScript and PDF documents:
1 In Instant PDF, click the Jobs button on the
toolbar.
2 Choose Job > New.
3 Locate the PostScript or PDF file for which you
want to start a Certified PDF workflow and
click Open.
The file appears as a job in the Jobs in Progress list.
4 Select the job in the Jobs in Progress list and
click the Select PDF Queue button.
5 Select a PDF Queue and click OK.
A new job is started in Instant PDF. 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
supplying a file name or reviewing the preflighted
document.
Creating a Certified PDF
Document by Printing to a
Virtual Printer
What Is a Virtual Printer?
A virtual printer is one of the appearances of an
Enfocus PDF Queue. When you create or change a
PDF Queue, you can choose to present the PDF
Queue as a virtual printer. If you do this, the name
of the PDF Queue will also be the name of the vir-
tual printer as it appears in the list of Printers and
Faxes in Control Panel (Windows) or in the Printer
List (Mac OS).
