Convert PS to PDF
Although many filters output PostScript by default, this option allows you to further convert
PostScript to PDF. This is a global setting that affects all PostScript files for a particular Hot
Folder. This setting affects all PostScript output from all filters.
Since Convert PS to PDF affects all PostScript output files, turning on this setting may not be
suitable in certain printing workflows.
For example: Both the DCS 2.0 and TIFF/IT filters output pre-separated PostScript files, one
separation file per page. In order to print these pre-separated files as a composite image, you
must select the Combine Separation option in the Job Settings. However, the Combine
Separation feature accepts only the PostScript type files. Selecting the Convert PS to PDF
option results in printing multiple grayscale pages, instead of a composite color page of an
image.
Distiller Profile
This menu displays all the available Distiller job options. This setting is used to control the
quality of the PostScript to PDF conversion. The Hot Folders application retrieves the job
options from the location set by Distiller. If you create and save your custom Distiller job
options elsewhere, the custom job options must be manually copied to the Distiller\Settings
folder.
