2. Install AccurioPro VDP Optional Modules
   When you run the AccurioPro VDP software installer, you will be prompted to select from a set of Optional Modules to install. Please be sure to select the AccurioPro VDP Scripting Module as this module is required for use with Enfocus Switch. You may of course install any other Optional Modules, such as the Bar Coding Modules, but the Scripting Module is the only requirement. Please click here for more details about how to install your AccurioPro VDP software.

Next, download the AccurioPro VDP Configurator sample files using the link provided by your Meadows support team. Please contact us if you have not received a download link to the sample files.

Once you download and un-zip the sample files, you will have a folder named AccurioPro-Configurator, which contains all of the sample documents, inputs, and flows. To ensure that all of the samples will work without any modification, please place the AccurioPro-Configurator folder onto the following location on your system:

Macintosh Systems:  /Users/Shared/AccurioPro-Configurator/

Windows Systems:  C:\AccurioPro-Configurator/

Note: By placing the folders in these locations, some of the sample flows that include hard-coded file paths to InDesign documents will work properly with no need to modify the flows. If you wish to place the folder into a different location, you may need to adjust some of the file paths in the sample flows. Switch will warn you about missing files when you run the flow.

The following video will demonstrate how to install the AccurioPro VDP Configurator, and verify that your system is set up properly for use with Enfocus Switch.
