   2. Filter the script list to Map-Reduce scripts.
      

   3. Open script named eXtendMobile Create Printers Map-Reduce.
      

   4. Edit its deployment which is not scheduled and choose the option save and execute for the creation of printer records.
      

   5. On completion of this script, your printer records will be created.
      

      Note: This script will create all the printers present in your print node account. You will need to delete or mark inactive the printers which are not in use.
      

      
      

3. Creating Advanced PDF/HTML PDF Templates - Now create PDF templates for the records you will be using the PDF print functionality.
