Call 303-936-0303 or email your Account Manager for more information.

Once you are ready to create your final PDF files (using the specific PDF instructions you have received from your Account Manager), you will need to determine how you wish to upload them. Below are the three options for uploading.

Option #1: Individual PagesBecause Insite splits multi-page PDFs into single pages, this is the best option for uploading. If the naming convention is consistent (numbered plus alpha), it will keep your pages in order. If you have correction pages, they will easily be replaced by naming them with the same name as the original file as long as you have not given those pages final approval. Once you have exported your PDF file you can extract the pages as separate files in Acrobat. You will need to make sure that the first page of the PDF is the actual page 1 so the file naming corresponds to the folio page.

Naming Convention and Upload Options

If your front cover is not considered page 1, use the following naming convention.

• Front Cover = Cvr1

• Inside Front Cover = Cvr2

• Inside Back Cover = Cvr3

• Back Cover = Cvr4

• Spine = SPINE

To extract the entire file to single pages: Open the PDF in Acrobat and follow these instructions:

1a. Acrobat 9 & Older: Document---Extract Pages

1b. Acrobat 10 & Newer: Click “Tools”. Go to “Pages”. Double-click “Extract”

2. Enter the entire page range of the document and check the “Extract Pages As Separate Files” box

3. You will be prompted to pick a location to save the files to - make a new folder on your desktop and navigate there

4. Once you click “OK,” Acrobat will extract the files, adding numbers to the end of your existing file name starting at “1”

5. If you wish to change the file naming, you can use a renaming software to do so

When exporting to PDF, name the file with either the job number and/or job name. Do not use any type of special characters besides an underscore. Make sure each file ends with “.pdf” or your upload will fail.

EXAMPLE:

12345_.pdf

SampleMagazine_.pdf

Option #3: Groups of Pages

InSite will separate your multi-page PDFs into individual pages and append a position number at the end of the file name based upon the number of pages within the document. If you have multiple groups of pages, each group will have the same front-end file name with the position number at the end. The numbering will start over for each file and may make uploading correction pages confusing. When uploading correction pages, be sure to use the exact same file name including the position number appended by Insite to keep the pages in order.

File Upload Options

Option #2: Single PDF fileInSite will separate your multi-page PDF into individual pages and append a position number at the end of the file name based upon the number of pages within the document. If your front cover is not considered “Page 1,” your position numbers will not correspond with your actual page numbers and uploading corrections may become tricky. Please keep your file naming as short and concise as possible. When uploading correction pages, be sure to use the exact same file name including the position number appended by Insite to keep the pages in order.

Uploading To Your Job

1. Log in to InSite - you will see your job. Click on the job name to open the “Summary” tab.

2. In the “Summary” tab, Click the “Upload Files” button. You will see a window pop-up.

Once your files have uploaded to the server, they will go through the “Refine Process.”

You will know this process has completed when you see the total number of pages in the “Summary” tab and page thumbnails displayed in the “Pages” tab.

IF THE PROCESS COMPLETES AND THERE ARE NO PAGES SHOWN, YOUR UPLOAD HAS FAILED. If this happens dur-ing business hours, please contact your Account Manager. If this happens after business hours or on the weekend,

please contact the Prepress Manager to discuss.

4. You will now launch “Smart Review” to review your processed pages and preflight information.

When you launch Smart Review, you may be prompted to trust or allow an applet in order for the software to launch. Please allow or it will not launch.

Here you will view your processed pages for accuracy and review preflight information. If something doesn’t look right or if you have questions, please contact your Account Manager.

If you are not requesting that a hard proof be produced, this is the final opportunity for catching errors. If they are not resolved here, there is a good chance your product will print with the errors.

Please use the Preflight Message Examples and Smart Review Checklist for more detailed information on what the preflight warnings mean, recommendations about how to address them and items to check for while there.

Reviewing Pages In Smart Review

While reviewing preflight warnings, you can click on the problem and it will zoom into and highlight the element being flagged.

For example, if you have multiple images being flagged for resolution under 200dpi, you can click on each warning and it will show you exactly which image it’s referencing. This way, you can easily determine the problem and if it needs to be addressed.

Once you have reviewed your files and uploaded your correction pages, you are now ready to give final approval. Giving “Final Approval” is the equivalent to signing our Authorization to Print form. Only do this when you are 100% ready to go to print.

• Do a “Select All” in the “Pages” tab and Click “Approve”

• Approve each page individually by selecting it in the “Pages” tab and clicking “Approve”

• Approve the pages in Smart Review

• Approve the pages in Preview

ONCE YOU HAVE GIVEN FINAL APPROVAL, YOU CANNOT UPLOAD ANY REPLACEMENT PAGES OR REJECT PAGES!

If you have a change at this stage of the process, you must contact your Account Manager to override the approval and delete the page. In order to upload a correction page, the job will have to be “Reverted to Pre-Production” or your file will not process. It is imperative that you do not give “Final Approval” until you are absolutely ready to go to press.

If you have multiple users reviewing the pages, you can use the “Set Pages To Reviewed - OK” or “Not-OK” option. The benefit of using this is the ability to change the status or upload corrections without having to contact your Account Manager.

If you “Reject” a page, it deletes it from the job completely. Please DO NOT USE the “Waiting for Correction” option as you will not be able to approve or reject the page.

If you have any questions,

please don’t hesitate

to contact your

Account Manager.

Approving Your Pages

Once you are finished reviewing your pages for accuracy and are ready to print, please give “Final Approval” for all pages. Be sure to let your Account Manager know once this has been done.
