Fiery JobFlow sample workflows
You can build your own workflows or download and import any of the pre-configured sample workflows below to start using Fiery JobFlow for automation. The workflows include all resources required to work. To find out more about each workflow, open the workflow summary or watch the video. Learn how to import JobFlow workflows.
Jump to JobFlow Connect packages.
Workflow name | Workflow description | Download |
---|---|---|
Route based on file name |
Routes jobs to applicable workflows based on file name. Each individual workflow then applies steps applicable for the application. For example using booklets, JobFlow splits pages larger than A4. Note: don't forget to download the sample set from JobFlow Library. |
Workflow │ Samples │ Video |
Crop images and remove irrelevant objects | Crops images and removes irrelevant objects from the PDF. | Workflow |
Additional Preflight and Correct Resources | Import these dummy workflows to add additional Preflight and Correct resources for use in other workflows. These extra resources allow you to more quickly create workflows for page rotation, resizing or to route jobs based on page size, file name, etc. After importing these workflows you can delete them. | Workflow |
Sharpen images | Enhances images in the PDF file using an Image Enhance Visual Editor template that sharpens them. | Workflow │ Summary |
Notifications | Uses rules-based email notifications to alert the assigned recipient if the job has passed or failed a certain workflow step. | Workflow │ Summary |
Job approval | Integrates the job approval process in the workflow by automatically submitting the job for review and approval by email. Once approved, the job advances to the next workflow step. | Workflow │ Summary |
Route based on job type | Processes multiple jobs of different types by analysing them through a sequence of preflight checks and routing them to various workflows based on pass or fail of compliance criteria. | Workflow │ Summary |
XML file handling | Use this as an example of an Input workflow customised to process XML files. XML files can be submitted to an existing workflow such as modifying image patterns using scaling/step-repeat, and then JobFlow will route the job to a Fiery XF server. | Workflow |
Format MarketDirect StoreFront files for a JDF connector | Use this as an example workflow customised to download MarketDirect StoreFront files and format as JDF. This workflow contains a poster product example. | Workflow |
Fiery JobFlow Connect packages
For even more advanced automation, you can import Connect packages via JobFlow resources. Connect packages contain all required script resources to add a custom JobFlow feature and greatly simplifies the use of custom functionality. Create your own Connect packages or use the sample ones below.
Connect package name | Description | Download |

Rename-copy | Appends a user-provided string to filename and then copies the job to another JobFlow workflow. | Connect Package |
Convert images with ImageMagick |
Convert images from over 200 formats to PDF with ImageMagick by ImageMagick Studio LLC. After importing via JobFlow Resources, one can add this step before JobFlow Convert. | Connect package |
