Notes:

1. The created SiteCustomizationskins are a part of the Print Provider properties

2. The skins must be prepared by a designer who has knowledge of basic HTML design as well as the

operation of HTML design tools.

MHT is a form of HTML that is saved such that it will include all the HTML elements in one package. When

uploading, FreeFlow Web Services analyzes the file and automatically places all elements into the correct locations.

The use of this upload method ensures the design’s validity.
