Configure an Output Hot Folder
Locate an existing hot folder that is associated with a process template that will output preview files, or configure a new output hot folder. You configured a hot folder like this in Activity 2.
Modify a Refine Process Template to Send Processed Files to the Output Hot Folder
- Using the Prinergy Evo Process Template Editor, open the Refine to PDF - Factory process template found in the Process Templates > Factory Templates > Refine to PDF group.
- Expand the File Delivery section of the process template. In the Send Processed Files to field, browse to your Output Virtual Proofing System hot folder.
- Save the process template with a new name: (for example) Refine for AutoProof.
Files that have completed processing using this Refine process template will be automatically sent to the output hot folder for proofing.
Create a Refine and Proof Hot Folder
- Create a new hot folder.
- In the New Hot Folder dialog box, select the Refine and Auto Proof process template created in the previous procedure.
- Type a name for your new hot folder. Use a name you will recognize. For example: Refine for AutoProof.
Submit an Input file for Automatic Refine and Proof
- Locate an input file to test your new automatic workflow. In the Activity 10 folder, find
Type Brochure.ps. - Drag the input file into the new Refine for AutoProof hot folder. The system will automatically refine and then output preview files.
- Open the Process Viewer. View the status of the refine and output processes.
- When the output process is complete, return to the shared HotFolders volume to view the preview files in the Refine for AutoProof\Output folder.
