How to Use Public Profiles

Public profiles are available with the server licensing. They are visible from all client computers. You are only allowed to create public profiles on the printer server. The public profiles are updated on from the printer server when an application prints to the printer client or when the Printing Preferences window of the printer client is opened.

You should use public profiles if you want to configure printing options that can be used by all computers in your network. For instance, you can configure a common folder where all client computers will save the PDF files.

Public profiles have a flag called Allow changes on client computers. If this flag is set, the settings in the public profile can be overwritten on client computers. You can keep for instance all changes regarding security, bookmarks, compression from the public profile and override on the client the PDF file name or the PDF page sizes.
