Superwide format products typically have large content files, which can take time to upload to the site. To help with this process, a Background Uploader utility uploads the files while you continue to customize your product. The first time you customize a superwide format product you must install Background Uploader. (This is a one-time procedure.) After you install the utility, the content file for a superwide format job is always uploaded in the background.
Note: If you do not have a digital file or plan to supply material later, you can indicate that you are supplying material "offline," for example, on CD/DVD.
To install the background upload utility
1. When you select a superwide format product for the first time:
● In the single-page workflow, under Files, click Windows/MAC (for all versions of Windows and for all versions of Mac OS except 10.6) or click Mac 10.6.
● In the multi-page workflow, under File(s) Added to This Job, click Windows/MAC (for all versions of Windows and for all versions of Mac OS except 10.6) or click Mac 10.6.
2. Save the installer .jar file to your computer.
3. Double-click the .jar file to start the installer and follow the instructions in the wizard.
Note: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 must be installed on your computer before you can install Background Uploader. If JRE is not installed, you are asked to install it by clicking Install. After installing JRE, refresh the page to apply the changes. Then proceed with step 3 above.
4. Once Background Uploader is installed, upload your files as usual.
