Important: The default (Prinergy-defined) file name pattern does not ensure that
file names are 31 characters or fewer.
However, you must minimize the length of the following output file
name components if you want to output file names to be unique,
meaningful, and 31 characters or fewer:
●
For
loose page proof
output names, make the combined
%page%
and
%SeparationVersion%
portions of the file names 20
characters or fewer
●
For
imposition proof
output names, make the combined
%imposition%
and
%SeparationVersion%
portions of the
file names 20 characters or fewer
For example,
1VP_1.common.1A.K.1.pdf
< 20 characters 11 characters or more
Minimizing the %SeparationVersion% tag
Because the
%SeparationVersion%
tag is composed of names of
the versions to which it applies, this file name component can be very
long. Thus, we recommended that version names be as short as
possible, especially if you have many versions in your job. See the
example below.
Imposition separation output file name example
for AFP
Before shortening file names:
You have four versions for which you use the following
version names: Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and
Calgary.
If you have a separation that applies to the Vancouver,
Toronto, and Montreal versions, the separation name
becomes Vancouver_Toronto_Montreal. The output file
name would be the following if you are using the Prinergy-
defined file naming:
Impo_8pg_W&T.Vancouver_Toronto_Mo.1A.K.1.pdf
(44 characters)
After using custom file naming to limit the imposition and
SeparationVersion components each to 9 characters,
%imposition<9>%.%SeparationVersion<9>%.
%signature%%surface%.%color%.%dotversion
%.%extension%
the file name is:
Impo_8pg_.Vancouver.1A.K.1.pdf
(30 characters)
