we are needing PDF files for process into a document storage software….  the Print shop uses a .VPC file for the Xerox Free Flow that is driving the printers.

    I create an address file that i send to the print shop.. They take that file into InDesign Desktop and merge to a Receipt letter we send to our donors. This merge is exported from InDesign Desktop as a .VPC file to a hot folder for the printers to consume… I would like to take that same file and reprocess it as a PDF so we can upload it to our CMS system.  Currently, it takes approximately 3 plus minutes for the Desktop to convert the file. I want to take this to an instance of InDesign Server and use the.VPC file to a PDF…..  we are processing approx 30,000 per month  

    hope this helps
