Preps integration options
Prinergy offers two options for integrating the Preps imposition
software: Full Access and Automated Imposition.
Full access Preps integration option
The full access option enables you to start Preps from within Prinergy
Workshop, and to have the full functionality of your licensed Preps
(Preps Pro or Preps Plus, floating license or dongle).
With this option, you can create, edit, and export impositions from
Preps and import them into Prinergy for use in Prinergy jobs. You can
also create and edit a Preps template. You can import the following files
into a Prinergy job:
●
Preps 5.1 and later job files
●
PJTF and JDF files
●
PostScript and PDF marks files
The following overview describes the imposition creation workflow for
the full access Preps integration option.
1. You add and process the input files and create a page set.
2. You open Preps from within Prinergy and create an imposition.
Preps adds a run list of blank pages based on the page set in
Prinergy.
3. You create or edit templates, and then add signatures and define a
media (device).
4. You print the imposition as an Adobe Job Ticket or a JDF file.
When saving mixed-file jobs, Preps saves the imposition as a job
ticket file (.pjtf or .jdf). The marks are saved as a PostScript file (.ps).
When saving as a PDF job, the Preps JDF has .pdf mark flats, and the
marks are embedded into the PJTF file.
Prinergy automatically imports the imposition and assigns the pages
to the imposition.
