Adobe PDF Interface

Certain photo products, such as photo books and posters, provide offer the option to process the order in either JPEG or PDF format. If you choose opt to print in using PDF format, there are two supported PDF Interfaces within the Lab 50 software that can be chosen. One option is printing to print via the Lab 50 Adobe PDF Interface, and the other is via Print Server, and you will configure through the Setup Wizard. .

In this section, we will only go over the configuration settings for the Lab 50 Adobe PDF Interface. This is rarely used. InsteadAlthough this option is available for processing, we recommend using the PDF interface for the EQ-9800/9850 or the Hot Folder interface via the Print Server for maximum automation and customization. For instructions on how to set up the PDF Printer Interface via Setup Wizard, see “Printing Via Print Server” section.Note: For more details on how to configure PDF Printer Interface using the Setup Wizard, see APM User’s Manual, “Printer Interfaces” section. This is available by logging onto www.lucidiom.com/support to download the manual in PDF formatplease see the printer interface guides.
