When you edit a process template in this way, any changes to the
process template are temporary and are discarded once the process is
complete.
The changes do not affect the original process template and they are
not saved with the job. You cannot redo the same process without
making the same changes to the process template again.
About protecting process templates
You can determine which users will be allowed to create and edit
process templates in Prinergy Workshop. This is done by setting user
rights in Prinergy Administrator.
When a user who doesn't have the right to edit process templates is
logged into Prinergy Workshop, an [x] appears to the right of the
Process Template Editor menu options; the menu options are dimmed
and unavailable. In addition, clicking
Edit Process Templates
in the
Start Process window will allow you to only check the process template
parameters and not change and save them.
For more information about setting user rights, see the
Prinergy System
Administration guide

What are JTPs?
Job Ticket Processors (JTPs) are software components that implement
specific actions or tasks to be performed as part of an Adobe Extreme
system. The real work of an Extreme system is performed by one or
more JTPs. This means that the kind of work of which an Extreme
system is capable is determined by the JTPs installed in it.
All JTPs share common responsibilities and capabilities, but each JTP
also has its own unique task. JTPs perform their tasks based on the
information available in a PJTF file. Different JTPs make use of certain
parts of a PJTF file and ignore other parts of the file. This allows
multiple JTPs to share the same PJTF file and its associated PDF files.
As each JTP performs its task, it consults the PJTF file for input and
updates the PJTF file with the new information. For example, the
Normalizer JTP looks for PostScript file descriptions in the PJTF and,
after processing, changes the file description so it points to the new
PDF file and not to the original PostScript file. This allows the next JTP
in the sequence to operate on the PDF files, rather than the original
PostScript files.
Each JTP has a unique name that describes its purpose. It is possible to
have multiple copies of the same JTP running at the same time on the
