Templates Production Print processes XDP templates generated by ADEP Designer. It does not process ADEP Designer PDF files that include imported PDF artwork or Adobe PDF AcroForm format. Templates can be loaded from a resource set in the Design Center Project or from the ADEP Document Services Repository. From Design Center resource set Templates loaded from a resource set in the Design Center Project are statically associated with the Process. These templates are loaded at start-up. From Document Services Repository Templates loaded from the Document Services Repository can be treated in different ways: • Loaded during design time and stored in Design Center resource set. Design Center connects to the Document Services Repository and loads the templates into the Design Center resource set. You can update them by loading from the Document Services Repository. • Loaded dynamically during runtime by connecting to the Document Services Repository using StreamServe variables or SOM expressions. These templates can be loaded once for each job or once for each processed record. For information on how to access and load templates dynamically, see Using templates. Performance considerations Normally, performance slows down considerably when loading templates dynamically. The performance is highly dependent on the file system, the file I/O and network capacity. To get maximum performance, make sure that the templates are accessible to the Process in the fastest possible way. To improve performance when using dynamic templates, you can enable template caching. See Template caching.
