Adding and Configuring a Pitstop Profile in Infigo | PP_002

00:00:07:13 - 00:00:09:17
Infigo supports the use of Enfocus

00:00:09:17 - 00:00:13:10
pitstop profiles to be used against custom
media upload items.

00:00:14:10 - 00:00:17:10
These profiles work across
several product types,

00:00:17:14 - 00:00:21:06
including multipart
uploads of Mega Edit products, either

00:00:21:06 - 00:00:25:01
using the editor
or the separate upload UI.

00:00:27:05 - 00:00:28:03
These profiles are there

00:00:28:03 - 00:00:31:11
to help alert
the end user to any potential issues that

00:00:31:11 - 00:00:35:26
their uploaded images may have before
they are processed and sent to production.

00:00:36:14 - 00:00:40:12
These can help to ensure customers
are submitting good print quality images,

00:00:40:19 - 00:00:44:08
so job turnarounds and workflows
can progress much more smoothly.

00:00:45:05 - 00:00:48:05
Now, please do note that
this is a paid module.

00:00:48:11 - 00:00:51:21
If you do need additional information
on this, please contact either

00:00:51:21 - 00:00:54:27
Customer Support
or your Customer Success Manager.

00:00:58:21 - 00:01:00:05
Okay, so to start actually

00:01:00:05 - 00:01:03:07
implementing these we first need
to navigate to the relevant page,

00:01:03:11 - 00:01:08:21
which we can do by typing PDF
and go to PDF Profile Setup.

00:01:09:08 - 00:01:13:03
If you can't access this page
and you do have the module, then please do

00:01:13:03 - 00:01:16:06
contact Customer support and they will
be able to enable it for you.

00:01:17:19 - 00:01:18:19
You can see in my case that

00:01:18:19 - 00:01:21:19
I've got a few example files already here.

00:01:22:26 - 00:01:24:21
A new PDF profile can be added

00:01:24:21 - 00:01:27:21
by clicking Add New Record
at the top right hand corner.

00:01:28:07 - 00:01:31:07
Let's make a new one called Sample

00:01:31:24 - 00:01:35:03
and there's a few options available
with this which we're going to go through.

00:01:35:11 - 00:01:38:11
So I'm going to save these
reporting options here for later on.

00:01:38:20 - 00:01:41:16
I'm just going to insert
my newly created profile

00:01:41:16 - 00:01:44:16
and then go to Edit Profile Data.

00:01:46:02 - 00:01:47:19
These top two sections here

00:01:47:19 - 00:01:50:23
will look at the actual Enfocus
pitstop profiles.

00:01:50:23 - 00:01:53:23
So this is where you would upload it.

00:01:57:00 - 00:01:59:01
And then the uploaded file
is displayed here

00:01:59:01 - 00:02:02:01
where you can either
delete or redownload it.

00:02:02:25 - 00:02:05:08
Now the profile file itself

00:02:05:08 - 00:02:09:11
is generated with the Pitstop Acrobat
plugin, and allows the configuration

00:02:09:11 - 00:02:12:27
of tests on the current PDF file
that the user is uploading.

00:02:13:24 - 00:02:16:29
These tests have a wide potential scope
from page

00:02:16:29 - 00:02:21:10
counts or dimensions to color space
or font information.

00:02:21:10 - 00:02:21:28
For example,

00:02:23:06 - 00:02:24:02
each test can be

00:02:24:02 - 00:02:27:02
configured to act
as either a warning or an error.

00:02:27:13 - 00:02:31:00
Warnings will inform the user
but not prevent the file from being used,

00:02:31:04 - 00:02:34:04
whilst
errors will completely prevent file usage

00:02:34:22 - 00:02:37:19
until those issues are resolved.

00:02:37:19 - 00:02:40:10
In addition
to a user manually resolving issues

00:02:40:10 - 00:02:44:15
and then re uploading the file,
automatic fixes can be implemented

00:02:44:15 - 00:02:47:24
in pitstop,
which will address warnings or errors.

00:02:48:22 - 00:02:51:16
An example
would be changing the size of the page

00:02:51:16 - 00:02:54:12
or converting the color space Enfocus.

00:02:54:12 - 00:02:57:15
Do have manuals available
covering these capabilities,

00:02:57:22 - 00:03:00:22
and we've put a link to those in the step
by step guide.

00:03:03:06 - 00:03:07:08
Now there are a couple of types
of PDF profile that we can use,

00:03:07:08 - 00:03:10:08
and we'll see examples of these
a little bit later on.

00:03:10:18 - 00:03:13:18
So we're going to start off
with a check PDF profile.

00:03:13:24 - 00:03:16:25
So this type of profile is used
if you want to run various

00:03:16:25 - 00:03:20:19
forms of verification
against an uploaded PDF file.

00:03:21:26 - 00:03:24:01
We have fixed PDF profiles.

00:03:24:01 - 00:03:27:18
So as the name suggests
this profile will provide fixes

00:03:27:18 - 00:03:30:18
to the files
that are loaded by the end users.

00:03:31:19 - 00:03:34:27
And then please do note that whilst check
and fix profiles

00:03:34:27 - 00:03:38:18
can be used independently,
they can also be used together.

00:03:38:29 - 00:03:43:14
So undertaking the check functionality,
then providing the user with the choice

00:03:43:14 - 00:03:46:14
as to whether to implement
any automatic fixes

00:03:46:14 - 00:03:49:14
on problems that arise.

00:03:50:05 - 00:03:51:29
Our last type of PDF profile

00:03:51:29 - 00:03:56:07
is output PDF profiles,
so this profile is optional.

00:03:56:18 - 00:04:01:14
When set, we will apply the profile
after the output file has been generated.

00:04:02:11 - 00:04:05:22
The purpose of this profile
is to make changes to the PDF

00:04:05:23 - 00:04:09:23
after output generation,
which is applied to the entire document,

00:04:09:23 - 00:04:13:23
not just the PDF files
that the user is uploading at the time.

00:04:14:22 - 00:04:17:21
It should
also be used when time consuming tasks

00:04:17:21 - 00:04:20:25
like colour conversion
aren't required to be shown

00:04:21:00 - 00:04:24:00
to the user.

00:04:24:29 - 00:04:26:09
The next options down

00:04:26:09 - 00:04:29:09
also do with PDF reporting templates.

00:04:29:19 - 00:04:32:19
When creating a PDF report,

00:04:33:00 - 00:04:36:07
which we can present to the user
once they run one of their profiles.

00:04:38:25 - 00:04:41:16
The user will be able to download
that PDF report,

00:04:41:16 - 00:04:44:28
which contains the findings
of that profile that's been run.

00:04:45:17 - 00:04:48:16
This includes
the warnings, errors and fixes,

00:04:48:16 - 00:04:51:16
but also additional details
about the file itself

00:04:53:04 - 00:04:55:17
when no report template is configured.

00:04:55:17 - 00:04:58:02
We will create a standard report
which is Infigo

00:04:58:02 - 00:05:01:04
branded by uploading a report
template file.

00:05:01:13 - 00:05:04:13
The report can be adjusted
in a number of different ways.

00:05:13:02 - 00:05:13:13
Scrolling

00:05:13:13 - 00:05:18:00
a bit further down, we have a section
for variable sets and variable XML.

00:05:18:24 - 00:05:20:29
So this is a bit more involved.

00:05:20:29 - 00:05:25:03
So additional content will be available
on Infigo Academy covering this topic.

00:05:25:27 - 00:05:28:06
This feature enables dynamic PDF

00:05:28:06 - 00:05:31:06
preflight checks with customizable inputs

00:05:31:22 - 00:05:36:28
by utilizing variable sets in Pitstop Pro
that are mapped to your product

00:05:36:28 - 00:05:42:16
attributes,
in Infigo via a job ticket XML.

00:05:42:26 - 00:05:47:11
You can tailor preflight profiles
to meet specific job requirements.

00:05:48:04 - 00:05:51:15
This setup allows you to adjust parameters
like page dimensions

00:05:51:23 - 00:05:54:26
based on user inputs or product
specifications.

00:05:55:10 - 00:05:58:11
This enhances
automation and streamlining your PDF

00:05:58:11 - 00:06:02:10
preflight process
for increased efficiency and flexibility.

00:06:05:18 - 00:06:08:02
Okay, and the last couple of options
I want to discuss here

00:06:08:02 - 00:06:11:16
before we go through some examples,
is those reporting options

00:06:11:16 - 00:06:14:16
which were available on the main profile
list.

00:06:14:26 - 00:06:17:07
If I go back to list,

00:06:17:07 - 00:06:18:28
find my relevant profile

00:06:18:28 - 00:06:21:28
and then click on Edit Commands.

00:06:23:07 - 00:06:25:18
Now first off
looking at the reporting column, you see

00:06:25:18 - 00:06:28:18
we have a couple of different options
here.

00:06:28:18 - 00:06:30:14
So first off we have no.

00:06:30:14 - 00:06:33:18
So that will obviously create
no corresponding reports.

00:06:34:22 - 00:06:37:14
The next option down is PDF.

00:06:37:14 - 00:06:42:16
So when set we will generate a PDF report
and then present this to the user

00:06:42:16 - 00:06:45:16
so they can download and review
the results.

00:06:45:19 - 00:06:49:22
The report generated will either be
the standard report template or it can be

00:06:49:22 - 00:06:54:00
customized via the report template
settings that I showed you earlier on.

00:06:55:19 - 00:06:57:22
The user will see a report

00:06:57:22 - 00:07:00:25
for a successful upload, a failed upload,

00:07:01:06 - 00:07:04:06
or when we fixed a previously failed
upload.

00:07:06:08 - 00:07:09:12
The next option down here is PDF and XML.

00:07:10:07 - 00:07:13:21
So this creates both the PDF report
that we've just talked about,

00:07:14:01 - 00:07:17:01
plus an additional XML report.

00:07:17:10 - 00:07:20:17
So when this is set
an XML summary will be passed

00:07:20:17 - 00:07:24:06
to go
containing or warnings, errors and fixes.

00:07:24:20 - 00:07:28:15
This summary is displayed
to the user in the same locations

00:07:28:15 - 00:07:32:03
as the PDF report will be downloaded from.

00:07:32:22 - 00:07:35:08
So actually within the Infigo workflow

00:07:35:08 - 00:07:38:08
itself.

00:07:42:29 - 00:07:46:22
Then the last option we have here
is alter input file.

00:07:47:03 - 00:07:50:20
So when this is set
we will replace the upload file

00:07:50:20 - 00:07:54:17
that the user has provided
with the PDF profile output.

00:07:54:24 - 00:07:58:04
Once profiling is finished
so that is required

00:07:58:04 - 00:08:01:12
in case the profile
does anything other than simple tests.

00:08:01:19 - 00:08:05:11
So if we start implementing fixes,
this needs to be turned on

00:08:05:11 - 00:08:08:24
because we are going to
be utilizing that fixed file.

00:08:13:25 - 00:08:16:23
For performance
reasons this should really be disabled.

00:08:16:23 - 00:08:17:29
If it's not needed.
