There are two object types in the standard editorial schema (i.e. defined in GN4Editorial.xsd): 'printTemplate' and 'printQueue'.

A print template contains the print workflow and a definition of (optional) parameters. The print template 'PDF file' saves the print PDF file in a directory specifies by the 'destPath' paremeter of the print queue. There is a 'PDF file' example print queue that uses this template to create PDF output files in the 'c:\temp\' directory.

A print queue is an actual print destination - it references a print template and contains the values of the parameters defined in the print template. The standard configuration defines print queues 'PDFGenerate', 'PDFVariant' and 'PDFVariantArchive' (plus their templates) that work as the old print workflows with the same name.

The print audit trail entries references the print queue. Print audit trail entries are generated only when printing using a queue whose template has the 'audit' attribute set to true. Currently only the 'PDF file' template has auditing enabled.

Print queues and templates are defined in:
