Workflow The steps used to go from a page layout program such as Adobe InDesign to a final, high-resolution
PDF.
FPO For Placement Only. A low resolution “proxy” of a high-resolution image. An
FPO also contains specific information that helps the
OPI or
PDF Image Replacement process find the original image.
Omit When exporting a
PDF from the page layout program, one can set the output options so that one will not include images. Usually the option is phrased “omit for
OPI,” usually with more options for omitting specific types of images individually.
Include Not omitting images on export.
Thin PDF A
PDF that contains the
OPI/Image Replacement
tags needed to find the high resolution images on the server. A thin
PDF may or may not include
FPOs.
PDF Image The process or program that locates images in a
Thin PDF and replaces
Replacement with the high-resolution images that they represent. It also converts
embedded high-resolution image data. The resulting
PDF is called a
Fat PDF.
Fat PDF A
PDF that contains only high-resolution images. This is considered the “final output” of the
PDF Image Replacement process.
Local Workflow Using the page layout program on the same network as the Xinet server.
Remote Workflow Using the page layout program on a separate network from the Xinet server. The user gains access to volume data via Xinet and a browser.
