Overview

Flyerlink® Supplieready is a tool that enables a PDF file to be manipulated to meet a production specification that is different to our standard w3p hub printed formats. Supplieready is free to use, and is available on Open Source and In-House Product Groups.

Supplieready set up

Flyerlink® Supplieready is quick and simple and to set up. We have set a range of Supplieready types that you can use. Once you have created your Product Group you can select a Supplieready Conversion Type in the Update Product section (Workgroup > My Products > Products >Product Groups > View/Amend).

Once you have chosen your Supplieready Conversion Type, click on Save Changes. Our default range of Supplieready types cover most scenarios of file supply for different types of production environment, the different types are detailed in w3pedia article 5097.

Custom Supplieready Types
