Here is the process the Ad PDF process 1. Ads are printed to Max_Ads_PDF queue on the MaxWorkFlow. This process uses 3 modules - Max_Ads_PDF, Max_Ads_PDF_Q and Optimizer 22. Verify that none of these 3 modules are stopped or in error. 2. This Queue is designed to FTP the raw postscript files to Xserve1/AdsReadyToPaginate/!!!MaxPDFAds!!!/In/ 3.

(b) Click Add Folder and browse to /AdsReadyToPaginate/!!!MaxPDFAds!!! and click Open. (c) The folder should appear in the Watched Folders window as: /volume/AdsReadyToPaginate/!!!MaxPDFAds!!! (d) Highlight the folder and click the Load Settings icon. (e) Select "Press Quality-Brad" and click Load. (f) Click OK closing the Watched Folders window. 5.
