Editing an Enfocus PDF Queue
Checking the Configuration Status of a PDF Queue:
Valid, Partially Valid or Invalid
The configuration status of an Enfocus PDF Queue
indicates whether or not all the properties of a PDF
Queue have been configured correctly. The configu-
ration status of a PDF Queue can be:
• Valid PDF Queue
• Partially Valid PDF Queue
• Invalid PDF Queue
Valid PDF Queue
An Enfocus PDF Queue is valid if at least the follow-
ing key properties have been configured correctly or
specified:
• The PDF Queue should have a name.
• At least one PDF creation method has to be
selected.
• A Preflight Profile has to be assigned to the
PDF Queue.
• At least one delivery method has to be config-
ured correctly.
Partially Valid PDF Queue
An Enfocus PDF Queue is partially valid if one of the
non-key properties has been configured incorrectly.
You will be able to create and deliver Certified PDF
documents if you use one PDF creation method, but
not if you use another.
For example, you may have configured the proper-
ties for Adobe InDesign integration and selected the
option to use PDF presets, but you may have omit-
ted to specify a PDF presets file (*.pdfs or
*.joboptions). The PDF Queue can then be partially
valid if other PDF creation methods have been con-
figured correctly, for example QuarkXPress or Virtual
Printer.
Invalid PDF Queue
An Enfocus PDF Queue is invalid if at least one key
property of the PDF Queue has not been selected or
has been configured incorrectly. For example, a
Preflight Profile may not have been selected.
To check the configuration status of a PDF Queue:
1 In the main Instant PDF window, click the PDF
Queues button.
2 Select a PDF Queue in the list.
3 Check the PDF Queue’s status in the informa-
tion area.
4 If the PDF Queue is invalid, click the Edit PDF
Queue button.
5 In the Enfocus PDF Queue Editor, click the
Advanced button.
6 Check the lower-left corner of the Enfocus PDF
Queue Editor. You will find instructions here
how to correct configuration errors, if any.
7 Check the configuration status of the catego-
ries of properties and correct them.
Using the Enfocus PDF Queue Editor: Advanced and
Standard Editing Modes
Editing an Enfocus PDF Queue implies that you
select one or more properties of the PDF Queue and
change them. To do this, you use the Enfocus PDF
Queue Editor.
The Enfocus PDF Queue Editor has two editing
modes:
•A standard editing mode. You can use this
mode if you just want to see or change the
main properties of a PDF Queue. These main
properties include the following categories:
Information, Preflight, Review, Save and
Send.
•An advanced editing mode. You can use this
mode if you want to see all the properties of a
PDF Queue.
