Where to store job options, color profiles and fonts to enable InDesignServer or the ServiceClients's ImageService tools to use them.

Job options


1. You must not install one job option in two locations. Job options are only allowed to be installed in one of the below mentioned locations!
2. If you have installed the job options successfully you will have to restart the InDesignServer to ensure proper functionality.

Windows

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\

If InDesign Server is running under user SYSTEM or the joboptions are defined with square brackets:

InDesignServers since version 2017:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\<Adobe InDesign CC Server name>\Resources\Adobe PDF\settings\mul\

Japanese installed servers since version 2017, use this different folder:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\<Adobe InDesign CC Server name>\Resources\Adobe PDF\settings\japan\


INFO: the third folder named "Res" contains some kind of translation tables for joboption names from the original file name to other languages. Hint: You must read "between" the "nul" signs in these files or open the binary in Textwrangler for better readability.

macOS

/Users/<user>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Adobe\ PDF/Settings/


Also for Mac the system user path /Library/... was changed by Adobe. Since Adobe CC, joboptions need to be placed in Programs/<Adobe InDesign CC ...>Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul/
⁩
Japanese installed applications use Programs/<Adobe InDesign CC ...>Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan/⁩

Color profiles for the Render Client

Note: If you have installed the color profiles successfully, you must restart the InDesignServer to ensure proper functionality. Each color profile is only allowed to be reachable once for an InDesignServer instance - otherwise IDS will not decide which color profile is the correct one and will fallback to its standard.

Windows

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Color\Profiles\Recommended\

If InDesign Server is running under user SYSTEM:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles\Recommended\

macOS

/Users/<user>/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/

Color profiles for the Service Client

Windows

C:\Users\<user>\censhare\v4\hosts\<host>\iccprofiles\

macOS

/Users/<user>/Library/Preferences/censhare/v4/hosts/<host>/iccprofiles/

Linux

  • censhare Server

/opt/corpus/cscs/app/services/image/iccprofiles/

  • Linux Service-Client

/opt/corpus/service-client/config/.hosts/<host>/iccprofiles/

Fonts

Note: If you have installed the fonts successfully you will have to restart the InDesignServer to ensure proper functionality.

Windows

Since InDesignServer CS6 censhare operates InDesignServer in 64bit mode. Thus install your fonts into 64bit installation folder:


C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6 Server x64\Fonts\
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server\Fonts
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2014\Fonts\
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC Server 2015\Fonts\

macOS

Double-click your font and install it by clicking Install font.
