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.
