Enfocus Instant PDF User Guide 69
Existing PDF Documents
You can also bring existing PDF documents into a
Certified PDF workflow.
Starting a Certified PDF workflow for a PDF docu-
ment means that you ‘stamp’ the document: You
provide it with the information necessary to enjoy
the benefits of the Certified PDF workflow for that
particular PDF document.
As soon as you have started a Certified PDF work-
flow for a document, any change made to the doc-
ument will be “recorded” per editing session and
can be traced in the edit log. See also “Viewing the
Edit Log File” on page 71.
To start a Certified PDF workflow for an existing
document if you do not have Adobe Acrobat:
1 In the Instant PDF main window, click the
Jobs button on the toolbar.
2 Choose Job > New.
3 Browse to the PDF document that you want to
make Certified, select it and click OK.
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.
The job is processed and you can follow the
progress in the Job Information area.
6 If required, complete any additional actions
prompted by the PDF Queue in the Job Infor-
mation area (e.g. specifying an output file
name, or reviewing the document).
Once the job finishes successfully, the output file is
a Certified PDF document.
To start a Certified PDF workflow for an existing
document from Adobe Acrobat:
1 Open the document in Adobe Acrobat.
2 Choose File > Save as Certified PDF.
3 Select a PDF Queue and click OK.
The document is submitted to Instant PDF as a new
job. Carry out the required actions (if any) that
appear in the Job Information area (e.g. file nam-
ing or reviewing).

you can also drag and drop a PostScript or PDF

shortcut. Instant PDF will then start automati-
cally and start a job to convert the PostScript
or PDF document to a Certified PDF document
