Scripts directory: Please enter here the location of the above mentioned scripts on your InDesign server. The entry should contain the local path.

Temp storage path: While working on a document, the render process creates temporary files which will be stored in this path.

Default preset:

Goal

Configuration of the default preset that is used during PDF-generation.

Basic configuration and usage

During PDF-generation with different setting the presets are used. Currently the default preset is hardcoded and can not be changed via the interface. To make this option more flexible the configuration of a global default preset will be implemented.

To archieve this proposal Web2Print module will be extended by a special field “Default preset”:

Web2Print_Indesign_Server_Tab_Default_preset

No any validation for this field.

The global default preset can be used during the generation of different PDF types: HiRes, MediumRes, LowRes, etc.:

  • during the generation of PDF from DocEdit

  • during the generation of PDF from workflow

  • during the generation of PDF from Preparing

  • during the generation of temp PDF for SWF preview

Mounts: "Mounts" table is used for conversion paths of resources from OMN server to Renderer server and vice versa.

  • Name: a unique name that is used as a definition and can be used in other path fields of Web2Print configuration. Recommendation: use special characters so that this name is not matched with the names of files or folders. It will be used as placeholder. Normally it is named as {MAIN} and used in Temp Path

  • Main mount path: absolute path on the OMN server to the shared resources with Render server and vice versa. The local path where the files & folders are located. Should be equal to RNC path

  • Mount path on the render server: absolute path on the Render server to the shared resources with OMN server and vice versa.

  • File system type: defines a type of file server that is used for sharing resources between OMN and Render servers.

    • "Generic" - for any common file server
