Hot Folders filters convert files to PostScript or PDF before sending the file to the Fiery Server.

The filters are grouped in four distinct categories:

• General filters (for most graphic arts and production printing applications)

• Color Separated filters (for color-separated graphic arts applications)

• Special filters

• JDF Filter

Most of the filters are non-exclusive: You can apply as many filters as you want to the same Hot Folder, provided the filters fall within the same category. However, you cannot apply filters from different categories to the same Hot Folder.

In some cases, not all filters are available. The available filters depend on the options that are installed on the Fiery Server that a Hot Folder is connected to.
