How to enable processing of PDF documents

Typically, if the destination printer supports PDF, documents printed through Printix Chromebook, printed from phone or tablet (Mobile print) and Print Anywhere documents, are sent as PDF data to the printer. Select Process PDF/XPS to force the PDF data to be processed according to the print queue's print driver configuration and thereby finishing options. This will typically mean that the PDF print data is converted into for example PostScript or PCL in accordance with the print driver's page description language (PDL).

  1. Open the Print queue properties page.
  2. Select Process PDF/XPS.
  3. Select Save.

    • Printing will take longer, compared to sending the PDF or XPS document directly to the printer, because the document needs to be processed a second time and also the document is likely to increase in size, which will also slow the printing.

    • If you are using groups to grant exclusive access to print queues that have Process PDF/XPS selected, or print queues that reference a printer that does not support PDF or XPS printing, then we advise that you appoint one or more computers to Act as print gateway and ensure the users signed in to Printix Client on those computers are also a member of those same groups. Otherwise, the document will no be printed.
