destroys the imposition plan as well as its associated input files, pages,
and page sets. Destroying an imposition plan enables you to remove a
job's files while retaining its settings, such as the image search path.
Once an imposition plan is destroyed, you cannot retrieve it or its
associated files. Therefore, if you think that you might need the job's
input files, pages, or page sets again, consider removing the imposition
plan rather than destroying it.
When you destroy an imposition plan it disappears from the Imposition
Plans pane of the
Signatures
view from the
Separations
view and from
the
Storage
view. Any references to it are deleted from the database.
As well, any page set linked to the imposition plan, pages assigned to
the imposition plan, and input files from which those pages originated
disappear from the
Pages
,
Signatures
, and
Storage
views of Job
Manager, and any references to those files are deleted from the
database. Any pages that were assigned to the imposition plan are also
removed from the job folder. Any input files from which those pages
originated are removed from their original input volume.
Note: If you try to destroy an imposition plan but another imposition plan in the
same job is using the same input files, pages, or page sets, the system will not
destroy them.
