Configuring Convert settings

General tab: Process Manager automates the processing of PDF documents. The Convert process step enables Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Publisher, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TIFF-IT, TIF, PS, VPC, QXD, QXP, RDO, and EPS document types to be converted to a PDF document for submission to Process Manager workflows.

You can select from various job options to generate optimal PDFs for Microsoft Office (including Microsoft Office 2007) or PS files. The job options include the basic Adobe Acrobat Distiller set with the addition of various Xerox-specific job options, including DocuColor iGen3. You can also create custom job options in Adobe Acrobat Distiller for use in Process Manager.

The default job option that displays in Process Manager is selected in Adobe Acrobat Distiller.

The [Flatten submitted PDF files for printing] option allows you to re-process PDF files with known printing problems. “Flattening” converts a PDF file to PostScript, and then converts it back to a PDF file. This feature may result in a loss of features and image degradation, including:

•Flattening of transparency.

•Loss of some interactive features such as thumbnails, bookmarks, article threads, logical structure and trapping information.

•Loss of functionality of other interactive features such as forms, hyperlinks, JavaScript.

•Loss of some annotations such as comments, embedded files, embedded media such as video/audio, and references to external files or media.

Limitations for Flatten This feature potentially requires a large amount of disk space for creating both the intermediate PostScript and the flattened PDF file.The conversion will fail if the disk space is insufficient.
