Review

 

Can be used multiple times, at critical points in a workflow,

 

 

to view, check and edit the PDF file using Adobe Acrobat.

 

 

When stopped at the Review step, you can change process

 

 

settings, resubmit the job to a previous step for additional

 

 

processing, view a soft proof, or print a hardcopy proof.

 

 

You can approve the job and allow it to move to the next

 

 

step in the workflow, or you can fail the job.

 

 

If there is a Print step after the Review step, you can select

 

 

[Copies] to access the Copies dialog and change the

 

 

number of copies to print.

 

 

 

Notify

 

Provides job status notification via e-mail. Allows you to

 

 

attach job files up to a maximum size of 1 GB.

 

 

 

Print

 

Allows you to print PDF, VPC, or RDO (for reprint) files to a

 

 

specified production printing queue using a specified job

 

 

ticket.

 

 

For information about reprinting RDOs, refer to the topic

 

 

“About submitting RDOs.”

 

 

 

Save

 

Allows you to save all supported file types from the

 

 

workflow to a specified location in a Windows file system or

 

 

document repository.

 

 

You can also use Save to direct or “branch” a job to other

 

 

workflows by designating a hot folder as the Save location.

 

 

 

JDF Export

 

Creates a JDF ticket and exports a PDF and JDF ticket to a

 

 

specified location in a Windows file system or document

 

 

repository. You have the option to export the JDF with

 

 

changes made by the external process nodes.

 

 

The output file of a JDF export task can be re-imported and

 

 

re-run by dropping it into a hot folder associated with an

 

 

appropriate workflow. The files associated with the JDF

 

 

must exist in the same location as the original job.

 

 

 

Conditional

 

Conditional branching provides an added level of logic to a

 

 

workflow, allowing it to examine the properties of submitted

 

 

jobs, and then act accordingly without human intervention.

 

 

You can add one or more conditional branches to a

 

 

workflow, each with one or more user-designated

 

 

conditions that specify the desired attributes or properties of

 

 

the submitted jobs.
