Ways to Lock Properties of a PDF Queue
You can lock one or more properties of a PDF Queue
to prevent the users of the PDF Queue from chang-
ing these properties accidentally or incorrectly.
There are various ways to lock properties of a PDF
Queue:
• Locking Individual Properties of a PDF Queue
• Locking Properties “on Top of” Other Proper-
ties
• Locking Collections of Properties
Locking Individual Properties of a PDF Queue
If you lock properties of a PDF Queue, you will be
promped to enter a password. You, or the users of
the PDF Queue, will need to enter this password to
unlock these properties again.
Padlock icons next to the properties indicate
whether the respective property is locked or
unlocked:
To lock or unlock individual properties of a PDF
Queue:
1 In the main Instant PDF window, click the PDF
Queues button to see the list of PDF Queues.
2 Select a PDF Queue in the list and click the
Edit button.
3 Make sure you are in the Advanced Enfocus
PDF Queue Editor: You should see the Stan-
dard button. If not, click the Advanced but-
ton.
4 Select the appropriate category of properties.
5 Click the padlock next to the property which
you wish to lock or unlock.
6 Lock or unlock the properties of your choice.
7 If necessary, click other categories and lock or
unlock the respective properties.
8 Click OK when done.
Locking Properties “on Top of” Other Properties
There may be situations where you have a PDF
Queue in which a number of properties have been
locked already. You may then wish to:
• Unlock some of these properties
• Lock some additional properties “on top of”
the ones which are already locked.
You can do this in the same way as you would lock
or unlock individual properties of a PDF Queue,
provided that you know the password of the prop-
erties which have already been locked.
Locking Collections of Properties
Instead of locking or unlocking individual proper-
ties of a PDF Queue, you can also lock or unlock a
collection of properties:
• All properties
• No properties
• Properties which are relevant to you if you are
a member of an industry association, printer
or publisher
Be careful, however, if you apply a collection of
locked properties in a PDF Queue which has already
a number of locked properties. The settings of the
collection of locked properties will override the
properties which were already locked in the PDF
Queue. Suppose you have a PDF Queue, named
Icon Meaning

If you lock or unlock the property for the first
time, you will be prompted to enter a name
and password and click OK.
