PS/PDF Job Files  

The [PS/PDF Job Files] (Figure 1) controls the job options that pertain to PostScript and PDF files. If you do not use PostScript and PDF files, the options in this section are not used.

 

To use the PS/PDF option:

1. In RIP-Queue, click Edit Quick Sets icon on the toolbar or go to Configure Printer > Quick Sets tab and select [New] or [Edit] button. Click Edit > Advanced and select [PS/PDF Job Files] from a tree.

2. Select the PS/PDF File options you want to use.

 

You can set any of the following PS/PDF File options:

 

This option enables RIP-Queue to separate individual pages of a PDF document into separate jobs in the Queue. When [Submit pages as individual jobs] is enabled, prior to creating the job, the PDF file is inspected and a separate job is created for each page found.

When opening the job from RIP-Queue, if the option [Open in Job Editor] is selected, each of the individual jobs will be opened into Job Editor.

NOTE: This option is not available for jobs opened directly from Job Editor (without going through RIP-Queue first).

This offers several benefits:

  • Allows the software to honor page sizes that may be different between PDF pages (each job will have a size respective to its page)
  • Allows the software to process individual pages simultaneously (in some cases improving production throughput)

 

A Bounding Box is a specific rectangular area identified in PostScript files. Usually the bounding box is the same size as the image defined in the PostScript file, but some PostScript files use a larger bounding box for added margins or a smaller bounding box for cropping. Use this option to print only the exact area defined by the bounding box.

 

This option controls the file name that pertains to PostScript files. If you do not use PostScript files, these options are not used.

  • Use Title from file – Some PostScript files have a title embedded inside the file using design applications such as Adobe Illustrator. To use the embedded title as the job name, select this option.
  • Use File Name – Use this option when name of the file should be used as the job name.
  • Get User Name from File – Check this option if the PostScript file has a user defined. It will be displayed on the “Jobs Ready to Print” area. Otherwise it is defined by the Quick Set.
