Use the My Saved Files page to upload files to the site so they are ready to be selected when you are customizing a product that requires content files.
If you upload images to the My Saved Files page, and then want to use them when personalizing products like VDPs, the images on the My Saved Files page will not be available. You can, however, open an image on the My Saved Files page and then download it so it is accessible when you are personalizing a product.
Note You do not have to upload files ahead of time; you can upload files while customizing a product that requires content files.
The My Saved Files page also includes a PURCHASED CONTACT SET section. This shows any mailing lists you purchased when ordering a direct mail product. (Direct mail products are available only to U.S. based customers.) You can download a purchased mailing list from the My Saved Files page and then use it again in whatever way you want.
Tip The CSV file may include codes to represent values (for example, household income ranges, ages, or sales). Click here for a reference to the values the CSV file may include.
1. To see what types of files you can upload, click Supported File Formats.
2. To upload a file:
a. Click Add Files, find the file you want to upload, and then click Open.
b. Files that you upload may be automatically converted to PDF format, but if the Convert to PDF check box is displayed, select it to convert the file (unless for some reason you need to keep it in its original format).
Tip Most print shops prefer to receive PDFs since they preserve your layout, number of pages and so on. When opened on another computer, a PDF will look the same as on your computer, while files in their original formats may not look the same.
c. If the file you want to upload is not a PDF, enter the No of Pages.
d. Click Upload. After the file is uploaded, it is listed on the My Saved Files page. The saved file will be available for selection when you order products that require content files.
3. To preview a file, click its name.
Tip You can download a file while you are previewing it.
4. If you no longer want a file to be part of your saved files, click Remove.
To download and re-use a purchased mailing list
If you purchased a mailing list while ordering a direct mail product, it is listed under PURCHASED CONTACT SET on the My Saved Files page. The mailing list is available in the form of a CSV file. You can download this file and then use it in the future in whatever way you want.
All mailing lists are named PurchasedContactFile followed by the date and time you purchased the list.
1. Click the PurchasedContactFile you want to download. It will be downloaded to your Downloads folder and named FilteredList.csv.
2. (Optional) By default, the PurchasedContactFile is renamed as FilteredList.csv when you download it. If necessary, rename the file to give it a more descriptive name. For example, if the list includes businesses and consumers in Boston, Massachusetts, you may want to call it BostonMA.csv.
3. Use the list any way you want, for example, upload the list when ordering a direct mail product or multi-record VDP. You can also use the file with other systems that allow imports from CSV files.
