Help & Information

If your questions are not answered with the following Frequently Asked Questions, please complete our technical support form by clicking on the link below.

  • How does using PDF JobReady benefit me?

    PDF JobReady allows us to work together more efficiently – and more importantly saves you time and energy when submitting your projects to us! By creating a “B Squared” print driver directly on your computer, you don’t have to spend time reloading your artwork for submission and waiting for a PDF proof. Instead, you can submit your artwork, view an immediate PDF proof and approve all without having to leave you print screen.

  • What are the System Requirements for using PDF JobReady?

    A PDF JobReady driver is available for: Windows 2000 and XP, and Mac OS X.

    You will need the latest version of Adobe Reader *.

    PDF JobReady uses an integrated Internet Explorer window. Browser Requirements for Windows 2000, XP and Vista:
    At least IE 6

    *The Mac OS X driver uses an integrated Safari window, no browser or Reader requirements apply

  • Instead of seeing the PDF preview, I see "The security plug-in required by this command is unavailable". What is going on?

    Download the latest version of Acrobat Reader (right now X). After installing, open reader and go to the “edit” menu on top and then click “preferences.” Once in preferences, select the “general” option on the left, then uncheck the option for “enable protected mode at startup” if the option is already unchecked, then leave it alone and precede using Job Ready.

  • What applications work with PDF JobReady?

    PDF JobReady supports almost every desktop application. However, initial testing has shown CorelDraw to be a slower conversion process with occasional errors. This is caused by an incompatibility between CorelDraw and the PostScript drivers. We have no reports of incompatibilities with other applications.

  • My documents are not quite print-ready. They still need layout work done by my printer. Will they be able to do this work once I've converted the file into a PDF?

    Yes, your printer will be able to preflight and modify the PDF when necessary with other applications designed for this purpose.

  • Can I save the PDF that is created, for my own records?

    Yes, from the preview screen you can save the JobReady PDF file to your computer. You will be able to view, and print the file only from that computer, or the print shop.
