AccurioPro Flux Connector

The AccurioPro Flux Connector Node is no longer actively supported, but current licenses remain fully-functional.

Use the AccurioPro Flux Connector Node to send the processed output of a workflow to an AccurioPro Flux server. Specify the job settings as well as address data to use for the job. The AccurioPro Flux Connector node only supports PDF files.

Upload processed PDF files from a workflow to AccurioPro Flux Server to utilize its configured products and print settings. Print jobs processed by this node can then be uploaded to the AccurioPro Flux Server the same as any other incoming print jobs are.
