Using Variables When Configuring PDF Queues
Using Variables: Why and Where?
When you set up or configure a PDF Queue, there
will be instances where you will have to enter data.
This data may:
• vary, e.g. the date and/or time when the PDF
document is created
• already be available and known in Instant
PDF, e.g. your user name or company name.
Instead of typing this information in a given text
box, you can use variables to provide the required
information. The text of the variable will then be
filled in automatically at the appropriate time, e.g.
when the PDF file is created or saved.
You can use the following variables in the following
situations:

%User Company% The name of the registered
company of Instant PDF. Equals
“<Trial>” if Instant PDF is not
registered and “<Empty>” if the
