After a while, check the folder "OUT-watch for your PDF-File here" and you see a folder with the same name as your file followed by a suffix. This folder contains your input-file and the PDF-version of this file, which carries the same name, but has the filename extension "PDF".
To generate a PDF-File for standard documents, follow the instruction for non-standard documents, but choose the folder "Conversion of draft standards". In addition, a file is generated which provides you with the results of a quality check of the input-file. E.g. it will provide you information whether the fonts you used in the Word- or PostScript-file is compliant with the requirements of the ITSIG Guide for the use of IT in the development and delivery of standards (Second Edition). The ITSIG Guide is available on the ISO-Website under the following address: http://www.iso.ch/infoe/directiv.htm. Compliance with the Guide will ensure that no problems occur in the further processing of the file by the ISO Central Secretariat.
If the conversion was successful, the files and folders which have been generated during the PDF-file creation, will be deleted after two hours to save hard disk storage and for security reasons. If the conversion has failed, a folder will be created with the suffix "ERROR". The folder will be kept until ISO/CS staff has investigated the reasons for the conversion failure.
