Publishing Workflow
The Publishing Workflow describes each step necessary in the publication of documents through PrintShop Mail Web. Depend-
ing on the document to be used in PrintShop Mail Web, the methods may differ.
Publishing a PrintShop Mail Design Document
Publishing of a PrintShop Mail Design document is fairly simple and follows these simple steps:
1. Making sure the Company and Publication Type have already been created (optional; this can be done from PrintShop
Mail Design). See "Companies" (page 77) and "Publication Types" (page 85).
2. Creating the PrintShop Mail Design document meant for publishing. See "Interaction With PrintShop Mail Design" (page
187).
3. Sending the document from PrintShop Mail Design to PrintShop Mail Web. See the PrintShop Mail Design User Guide.
4. Setup the document's fields in PrintShop Mail Design. See "Interaction With PrintShop Mail Design" (page 187).
5. Enable the document for use with PrintShop Mail Web. See "Modify the publication type properties" (page 86).
Publishing a Word Mail Merge Document
Publishing a Word document with Mail Merge in PrintShop Mail Web is very simple and follows these simple steps:
1. Create a Word document that contains one or more MergeFields corresponding to a database entry.
2. Create a new Document in a new or an existing Publication Type of the Mail Merge type. See "Word Mail Merge Doc-
ument" (page 87).
3. Enable the document for use with PrintShop Mail Web. See "Modify the publication type properties" (page 86).
Publishing a Static PDFDocument
Publishing Static PDFfiles in PrintShop Mail Web is pretty trivial as it consists only of 2 steps:
1. Create a new Document in a new or an existing Publication Type of the Static PDFtype. See "Adding documents to a
Publication Type" (page 87).
2. Enable the document for use with PrintShop Mail Web. See "Modify the publication type properties" (page 86).
