File Name
Naming PDF Documents
You can specify how the names should be of the
PDF documents which are generated through the
PDF Queue:
• Use Specified Name
• Ask Every Time
To configure PDF file naming in 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 Click the File Name category.
5 Select the appropriate option, following the
on-screen instructions in the Help area:
• Use Specified Name, and use variables to
compose the file name of generated docu-
ments
• Ask Every Time
Use Specified Name
Select the option Use specified name if you wish to
generate file names for your PDF documents auto-
matically as these PDF documents are created by
the PDF Queue. You can specify the file name syn-
tax, i.e. the building blocks which make up the
name of your PDF document. If you do this, you can
use:
•A prefix
• A suffix
•One or more variables
The prefix or suffix can be any text which you wish
to include in the file name of the PDF document.
You may want to include a reference:
• To the name of of the PDF Queue with which
the PDF document was created
• To the name of the Preflight Profile with
which the PDF document was prelighted.
Naming your PDF documents this way may be par-
ticularly convenient if you are using a PDF Queue or
Preflight Profile from a Specification on Certified-
PDF.net.
Example
An example of a file name could be:
CMYK_brochure14042004.PDF
where we can distinguish the following building
blocks:
Ask Every Time
Select the option Ask every time if you wish to
enter a file name for each PDF document that is
generated by the PDF Queue. You may not want to
do this if you will be creating a large volume of PDF
documents.
