Loading media objects

After installing RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat, load RICOH ProcessDirector media objects. After you load them, you can use them to define media and finishing options for specific pages in a PDF file.

Whenever you change RICOH ProcessDirector media objects, do this task to load them into RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.

To load media objects:

  1. Close Adobe Acrobat Professional.
  2. On the RICOH ProcessDirector primary server, go to this directory:

    • /aiw/aiw1/share on Linux
    • C:\aiw\aiw1\share on Windows

  3. Copy the media.zip file to the <user_home_directory\AppData>\Roaming\InfoPrint\InfoPrintPlugin\ directory on the system where you installed RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat.

    For <user_home_directory\AppData>, substitute the name of the home directory application data directory for the current user.

      Note:
    • You can view the application data directory location for the current user by typing %appdata% in the Windows Run command line and clicking OK.
    • If the directory includes both a media.zip file and a media.xml file, RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat uses the media.zip file to load the media objects.
    • The media files are not downloaded when you download the plug-in installer from the Administration tab.

  4. Restart Adobe Acrobat Professional and click Ricoh ⇒ Select.

The media objects now are available in RICOH ProcessDirector Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat for defining media and finishing options.

If your RICOH ProcessDirector system includes the Preprinted Forms Replacement feature, the electronic forms defined for media objects also are available.
