A few key features that can be enabled against your integration include ticking the Auto Transfer Enabled option and an option to choose your Preferred Artwork Format of which you can choose from PNG, JPEG or PDF.
Auto Transfer Enabled determines if jobs are sent to S3 as soon as they are ready without manual intervention
We utilise an established method of communication with Caldera which is XML data to provide prepress instructions for how our platform generated files need to be managed
As Caldera runs locally we have to get the output files from the system into the input folders for Caldera efficiently. Our solution is that we push the files into an S3 bucket and then a service called rClone can be run locally to mount S3 as a network drive which is then directly synced and available from the machine running Caldera. The input folder can be set to listen to this shared drive and and pull files in when ready.
Please Note, there are other tools that allow you to access S3 in similar ways, rClone is just an example of one and is not affiliated with us.
