Creating and Managing Job Objects
When a user creates a new document, you need to create a corresponding job object using the GXNewJob function. When a user closes a printable document, you need to dispose of its corresponding job object using the GXDisposeJob function.
When a user saves a printable document, you need to flatten its job object using either the GXFlattenJobToHdl function or the GXFlattenJob function. When a user opens a printable document, you need to retrieve its job object using either the GXUnflattenJobFromHdl function or the GXUnflattenJob function.
When you receive a resume event, you should use the GXUpdateJob function to update the job object because the printing environment may have changed.
