The following PPDs are installed on the Macintosh: XINET.PPD, XINETGRAY.PPD, and
XINETPDFX.PPD. (
XINET.PPD or
XINETGRAY.PPD should be used when printing to a Xinet preview PDF, printable PDF, or TIFF/IT queue. The
XINETPDFX.PPD should be used when printing to a Xinet output queue.)
Distribution of the various Xinet Client Software and
Utility Software plug-ins and extensions are permitted under the
Xinet End User Software License Agreement. (This agreement is available in the installer,) The software provides two ways to make this as easy as possible.
First, users with direct access to server-mounted volumes can log in to the server as the user macfiles and mount the
MacFiles volume. They will find installers appropriate for their client systems there.
Second, for those with only Web access to the server through a browser, Xinet includes information about the Xinet extensions and plug-ins in its online Help file for InDesign previews, including a link so clients can download the packages for themselves.
End users who upload files that have been saved on a workstation without the Xinet extension or plug-in will also receive a message about using them and a link. Although Xinet tries to automatically alert Xinet users about the extension and plug-in, you may want to tell them about them beforehand, since the programs offer users features that will enhance the way they view and work with documents and Xinet. Users can pick up the package for themselves by pointing their browsers to:
http:Your_Xinet Server_Address/
webnativedoc/doc/xt.html where they will find the same link mentioned above.
