This chapter describes how to configure the Hot Folders filters to convert various files
to PostScript or PDF (Portable Document Format), or to preflight certain files.
For information about operating systems that support Hot Folders, see Welcome.
For information about installing the Hot Folders application, see Utilities.
For information about using the Hot Folders application, see Hot Folders Help.
Hot Folders filters allow you to convert certain file formats to PostScript or PDF or to
preflight files for conformity. File conversion and preflighting take place on your computer
within Hot Folders, which saves Fiery EXP8000/50 resources. You can print files directly
from Hot Folders filters without starting the application from which they were created.
Two types of filters are available: Exclusive and Non-exclusive. A Hot Folder configured with
an Exclusive filter processes the defined file type(s). No other file formats, including the
default file formats, are processed. When you select an Exclusive filter, you disable all other
filters.
Non-exclusive filters allow Hot Folders to accept multiple default file formats, such as
PostScript, PDF, TIFF, and EPS. Non-exclusive filters can also be used with other
Non-exclusive filters.
When you configure an Exclusive filter to a Hot Folder, the Hot Folder icon changes, and
is renamed to reflect the Exclusive filter.
