Using RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat

In this section:

1. Introduction
2. Overview
3. Configuring
   Configuration tasks for RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat include setting the preferences, units of measure, as well as more advanced tasks.
4. Working with markups
   This section describes how to add a markup to a PDF file and how to preview and modify all markups in a PDF file.
5. Working with control files
   As you use RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat to mark up a PDF file, instead of saving markup in the PDF file itself, you save markup to one or more control files. RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat uses a control file to extract data, and RICOH ProcessDirector uses control files in the different stages of preparing a PDF file for printing.
6. Working with document properties
   You can define document properties from data in your PDF file that you want to use for later print processing. When RICOH ProcessDirector processes PDF files with document property definitions, it extracts, or mines, values from each page group in a PDF file. For example, you can create document properties to extract data in each page group in a PDF file and define that data as the content of a barcode that prints on a page in the same page group.
7. Working with rules
   A rule is a set of one or more conditions. You can apply the conditions specified by a rule to place markup, extract data, or specify media and finishing options. You can also include a rule as a condition within another rule.
8. Working with page inserts
   The Inserts Manager dialog shows information about page inserts from other PDF files. You can add, edit, and delete page inserts. You also can set the order in which RICOH ProcessDirector adds the inserts to the documents in a job when the BuildPDFFromDocuments step runs.
9. Media and finishing
   You can specify media and finishing options for your sample PDF file and apply them as page exceptions to the job-level media and finishing options specified for RICOH ProcessDirector jobs.
