PDF Specifications

Enfocus CertifiedPDF.net User Guide 9

PDF Specification Defined

A PDF specification is a collection of components (files) which the PDF document creator can use to create and deliver Certified PDF docu­ments which have to be up to the PDF document receiver’s expecta­tions.

Components of a PDF Specification

A PDF specification can have essen-
tial and optional components.
Essential components of a specifi­cation
Essential components of a specifi­cation are files which a specifica­tion must have in order to be “publishable”. A contributor can only publish a specification if it contains at least one of the follow­ing essential components:
An Enfocus PDF Queue, i.e. a complete Enfocus Certified PDF creation and quality assurance workflow. You can create an Enfocus PDF Queue in Enfocus Instant PDF 3.x to convert your source docu­ments to output-ready Certi­fied PDF documents in a single step. A PDF Queue contains at least an Enfocus PDF Profile, but can also include one or more optional subcomponents such as Action Lists, Adobe PDF
settings files (*.joboptions), a PostScript Printer Description (*.ppd), Adobe InDesign presets or QuarkXPress print styles or PDF export options.
or
An Enfocus PDF Profile, i.e. a collection of criteria which a PDF document should meet to be outputworthy. Each crite­rion corresponds to a given property of the PDF docu­ment.
Optional components of a specifi­cation
A specification can also include optional components. These are files which are, strictly speaking, not required to publish the specifi­cation, but which can help the subscriber to create output-ready Certified PDF documents.
Optional components of a specifi­cation can be:
Enfocus Action Lists, i.e. a series of Enfocus actions grouped together as a single command to carry out tasks automatically in a PDF docu­ment. It is similar to a “macro” in other applica­tions.
PostScript Printer Description (*.ppd) Files
Q uarkX Press pr int style s or PD F export options
10 Chapter 1: Getting Started with CertifiedPDF.net
Adobe InDesign CS print presets or PDF presets (called printer styles and PDF styles respectively in Adobe InDesign 2.x)
Adobe PDF Settings (*.jobop­tions)
ICC Profiles

Statuses of PDF Specifications

Different Statuses Per Account Type and Specification Type

The status which your specification can have depends on:
The type of your Certi­fiedPDF.net account, i.e. contributor vs. subscriber
Account Specification Type Status
Contributor Personal specification Unpublished
Linked specification Read
Subscriber Subscribed specification Read
The type of specification itself, i.e. subscribed, personal or linked
A specification can have either one of the following statuses:
Public
Modified
Confirmed
Changed
Confirmed
Changed
To check the status of your specifi­cations:
1 Make sure that you are logged
on to CertifiedPDF.net.
You can see this at the top of each page on CertifiedPDF.net.
2 Go to Setup > My specifica-
tions.
3 Click the respective type of
specification of which you want to check the status:
Personal specifications
Linked specifications
Subscribed specifications
You can now check the statuses of your specifications and change them, if necessary.

Unpublished

A specification can have the unpublished status in the following cases:
You have added the specifica­tion to CertifiedPDF.net but you haven’t published it yet.
•You have published the speci­fication before on Certi­fiedPDF.net, but you have now unpublished it.
Enfocus CertifiedPDF.net User Guide 13
You, being a contributor, can view and edit your unpublished specifi­cations but they are not publicly available. This means that:
Other members of Certi­fiedPDF.net cannot subscribe to unpublished specifications.
Other contributors cannot link through to unpublished spec­ifications.

Public

Your specification is publicly avail­able on CertifiedPDF.net:
Other members can subscribe to them.
Fellow contributors can link through to them.

Modified

You, being a contributor and owner of the specification, have modified your specification since you last published it but you haven’t made it publicly available yet. You can now either:
“undo” your modifications and Revert to the previously published version
or
Publish the modified version of the specification

Read

The status read of a specification means that you have “read” the specification: you have seen the specification data and all related files and documentation at the time when you subscribed to or linked through to the specification. However, you still need to confirm the actions of subscribing or linking through to this specification.

Confirmed

You have linked through to or sub­scribed to a specification, read it and you have installed its files and documentation. You need to man­ually confirm you did so by clicking confirm link in the Actions column of that specification. Its status will then change from read to con-
firmed.

tion” on page 32
14 Chapter 1: Getting Started with CertifiedPDF.net

Changed

You have subscribed or linked through to a specification, but this specification has been changed and republished by the owner in the mean time. You can read the publi­cation message by clicking the
icon and then decide what you
want to do:
Specification type Options
Subscribed specification
• You can accept the changes: you download and install the updated files of the specification and click confirm that you did so.
• You can reject the changes and unsubscribe from this spec­ification.
Linked specification • You can click update to accept the changes and to change
your linked specification correspondingly. Its status will then become confirmed.
•You can click ignore if you think that the changes are not relevant or not required for your subscribers. The specification will no longer be linked and will therefore move to your Personal specifications section, where you can edit and publish it as one of your own specifications.

New Subscribers

Select this option if you wish to receive an e-mail message each time when a new subscriber has subscribed to one of your specifica­tions.

Keep Pages Private

As a contributor, you can integrate the following pages in your own Web site:
Specification overview pages. You and other members or even visitors can see these pages on CertifiedPDF.net by clicking your name in the list of contributors in the Community section. These pages can include a list of your Personal specifications and/or your Linked specifica- tions.
Specification detail pages. This is the page which you get to see if you click the name of a specification. You will then see the Specification data, Files and Documentation.
If you use the integration feature of CertifiedPDF.net, you can specify how you want the specification overview and detail pages to appear:
•If you select Keep pages private, your specification overview and detail pages will be visible in your own corporate look and feel only, not in the CertifiedPDF.net style. Also your name will not appear in the list of contribu-
tors in the Community section of CertifiedPDF.net. Therefore, you may want to select this option if you want your subscribers to have the impression that they stay on your Web site only to subscribe to and use your personal and/or linked speci­fications.
Do not select the option to Keep pages private if you haven’t integrated the speci­fication overview and detail pages in your own Web site (yet). Otherwise, your specifi­cation pages will not be displayed in any way: not in the CertifiedPDF.net style and not in your own corporate style.
If you do not select the option to Keep pages private, your specification overview and detail pages will be visible in both the standard Certi­fiedPDF.net style and your own corporate style.

Allow Enfocus Cross-Linking

There may be subscribers who do not only want to use one or more of your specifications, they also want to find the related Enfocus products to use the components of the specification. For example, if a subscriber wants to use a specifica­tion with a PDF Queue, he or she will also need Enfocus Instant PDF 3.x to be able to use this PDF Queue in his PDF creation and delivery process.
Enfocus CertifiedPDF.net User Guide 21
To help your subscribers to quickly find the relevant Enfocus products or solutions, you can select the option to Allow Enfocus cross- linking. If you do so, (potential) subscribers will get to see refer­ences to these Enfocus products and solutions on the detail pages of your specifications, even if you have integrated these specification detail pages in your corporate look and feel.

Viewing the List of Contributors or Specifications: Filtering and Sorting

Filtering vs. Sorting

When you view the lists of contrib­utors or specifications, you will notice that these lists can become quite extensive. Besides searching, you can filter or sort the lists to quickly find the relevant informa­tion:
Sorting the list will rearrange it by the criterion of your choice. You find these criteria in the column heading of the lists, for example Name, Version, Date or Category.
Filtering a list displays only the rows that meet the criteria which you specify. Unlike sorting, filtering does not rearrange a list. Filtering temporarily hides the rows which you do not want to see displayed.
To sort the list of contributors or specifications:
1 Do one of the following:
To see the list of contributors, click the Community tab.
To see the list of specifica­tions, click the Specifications tab.
To search for a collection of contributors or specifications, click the Search tab and select the search criteria of your choice.
The list of contributors or specifica­tions is presented in tabular form.
2 Click the column heading to
sort the list by a criterion of your choice, for example Pro- duction process for specifica­tions or Category for contributors.
You can click the column heading twice to change the sort order from ascending to descending or vice versa.
To filter the list of contributors or specifications:
1 Do one of the following:
To see the list of contributors, click the Community tab.
To see the list of specifica­tions, click the Specifications tab.
2 Locate the Filters section at
the left-hand side of the page.
3 Click a filter of your choice
and, if necessary, refine your search by selecting:
•A Region of interest for speci- fications
or
•The Country of a contributor
