| | You can find more detailed information about the remote proofing software in the on-line helps.  | |  | | Tell me about the remote proofing window | | | | |

The remote proofing window contains the following features: - Menus
The menus are File, Job, Setup and Help. - Taskbar
The buttons in the taskbar provide quick access to commonly-used
commands: Open File to Generate Proof, Open Proof to Print, View Job
Ticket, Duplicate, Delete, Save As, Print, and Resume. - Folder tree
The remote proofing folder tree on the left-hand side shows all the files
accessible to the remote proofing software. It is displayed only if you have
clicked Setup, View Watched Folders. - Job list
The job list occupies the central area of the window. It shows brief details of active and completed generation and printing jobs: - Job Id (Each job is assigned a unique number to identify it).
- Proof File (The filename of the proof file. This is not available while the proof file is still being generated).
- Input Folder (The watched folder in which the job was created).
- Status (The current status of the job. If the job is active, it describes the part of the job currently being performed. If the job has finished, it indicates success or failure.)
- Progress (The percentage of the current activity of the job that has already completed).
- Type (The type of job: proof generation or proof printing).
- Date (The date and time when the job was created).
- Status of selected job
The Status Info pane at the bottom of the window gives more detailed
information about the current status of the job that is highlighted in the job
list. Alternatively, if you select the Job Log pane, it shows a complete log of
the job, including information on each stage in the job's execution and
whether there were errors or warnings at any stage.

 | |  | | Tell me about the File menu | | | | |
The File menu allows you to: - Open File to Generate Proof
This command opens the Proof Generation Job dialog box, in which you can
generate a proof file from a PDF, PostScript, or TIFF input file. The initial job
settings are those of the currently selected watched folder.
There are two other ways to open the Proof Generation Job dialog box: - Drag and drop an input file into the Remote Proofing window.
- Copy an input file into a watched folder.
- Open Proof to Print
This command opens the Proof Printing Job dialog box, in which you can print a proof file. There are two other ways to open the Proof Printing Job dialog box:
- Drag and drop a proof file into the Remote Proofing window.
- Copy a proof file into a watched folder.
- Save As
This command allows you to save a copy of the selected file with a new name
or in a different folder. - Exit
|

 | |  | | Tell me about the Job menu | | | | |
The Job menu allows you to: - Duplicate (make a copy of the selected job).
You can change its job settings. - Delete (delete the selected job from the list of jobs).
This does not delete any image or proof file. - Print (print a proof file).
If the selected job is a completed Proof Generation job, a Proof Printing job will be started. You cannot print a Proof Generation job until it has completed. If the selected job is a Proof Printing job, it will be duplicated. - Resume (resume the selected job if it has been canceled because of
media mismatch).
- View Job Ticket (view the
selected proof file and display its job settings).
No changes can be made.

 | |  | | Tell me about the Setup menu | | | | |
The Setup menu allows you to: - Set up Watched folders (a folder that is watched by the Remote Proofing software).
If you put a proof file in a watched folder, a printing job is automatically started. If you put a PostScript, PDF, or TIFF file in a watched folder, a generation job is automatically started (to generate a proof file). Each watched folder has its own job settings that are used by default for all jobs
started in that folder. You cannot choose to watch a
folder anywhere in your file system: it must be part of the Remote Proofing folder
tree, which is displayed on the screen when you select View, Folder. - Set up the Configuration of the Acrobat software (specify where on your system the Adobe Acrobat Reader and Distiller are installed).
The Remote Proofing software needs to
access both these programs in order to provide its full set of functions. The path
to the Distiller is on the server system and can be changed only from the server
system. The server address field allows you to specify on which computer the Remote Proofing server software is being run. On a Mac OS client, you should enter the IP address of the server; on a Windows client, you may enter either the name or the IP address of the server. You will not see this field if you are on the server system.
- View Watched Folders (display the Remote Proofing folder tree in a pane to the left of the window).
To remove the pane, repeat the command. The folder tree may include watched folders, output folders, and other folders.
