Hot folder workflow illustrated

The illustration below shows a typical set-up of a hot folder and its workflow.




  1. Enfocus PitStop Server detects incoming PDF documents in the input file folder and processes them automatically.
  2. Enfocus PitStop Server places the original PDF documents in a separate folder, depending on the result after processing: folder 2 if processing was successful or folder 2’ if processing of the PDF document returned errors.
  3. Enfocus PitStop Server places successfully processed PDF documents in a dedicated folder (3) but also saves the PDF documents with errors (3’).
  4. Enfocus PitStop Server generates a preflight report and saves it in the respective folder.
