Saving Jobs

You can save jobs as RJF, JDF, or PDF files for later use.
Note: This function is not available in the browser version of TotalFlow Prep.
To save a job:
  1. On the File menu, select Save As.
    You can also use the Save option if this is the first time you save the job.
  2. In the Save a File dialog box, follow these steps:
    Save a File dialog box.
    1. Browse for the folder where you want to save the job and open it.
    2. Enter a name for the job in the File name field.
    3. Select a format from the Save as type list:
      Ricoh Job Format (*.rjf)
      The RJF format is a job file format unique to TotalFlow Prep. RJF files are PDF files that have embedded information about settings such as finishing settings and print settings.

      You can enter a password for the job in the Password field. Enter alphanumeric characters, up to 32 bytes. The password is case-sensitive.

      Portable Document Format (*.pdf)
      This option saves the job as a single PDF file with edits applied. Information such as finishing settings, slip sheet insertion, number of copies, and output tray is not saved.

      You can enter a password for the job in the Password field. Enter alphanumeric characters, up to 32 bytes. The password is case-sensitive.

      Pages with Image PDF original format can be compressed and saved in JPEG format. Specify the level of compression by selecting one of the options available in the Compression rate list:

      Low (quality priority)
      This level gives priority to quality over file size reduction.
      Medium
      This level is intermediate. The files are compressed but the image quality remains acceptable.
      High (size priority)
      This level gives priority to file size reduction over quality.
      Note: For the data compression to function properly, make sure that the image files do not exceed the maximum size, resolution, or pixel count specified in Supported Image Formats and Image Sizes.

      Job Description Format (*.jdf)
      When you save a job in the JDF format, a folder is created and the PDF files that are linked with the JDF file are saved in the folder. The name of the created folder is JDF file name_mrjob. For example, if the JDF file name is ABCD.jdf, the PDF files are saved in the ABCD_mrjob folder.
        Note:
      • You cannot delete or modify inserted text, image, and mask objects for jobs saved in the JDF format.

      • The created JDF files can only be used with TotalFlow applications.

    4. Click the Save button.
After you save a job as an RJF or JDF file, you can save any additional changes by clicking Save in the File menu.
