be identified when it is imported into Prinergy in a ganged
imposition.

Custom fields can be added to page aliases. Adding a custom field
to a source page adds the custom field to the alias. Adding a custom
field to an alias adds the custom field to the source page.
Note: Making changes to a page alias, such as re-refining or changing page
geometry, also affects the original page.
Identifying page aliases
In the source job, identify:
●
Source pages by the icon
●
The page aliases for a selected source page in the Get Info dialog
box, in the
Jobs with alias of page
list
In the ganged job, identify:
●
Page aliases by the icon
●
The source job of a selected page alias in either of the following
locations:
○
In the
Pages
view, in the
Pages
pane, in the
Source Job
column
○
The Get Info dialog box, in the
Source Job
list
Limitations
Page aliases are not available for:
●
Pages that are re-refined after ganging—If you re-refine a page after
it has been ganged, but before the ganged imposition has been
imported, the ganged imposition will fail to import into Prinergy.
Therefore, ensure that page content is stable before ganging.
Note: Some changes, such as changes to the number of inks or geometry
changes, may invalidate the existing ganged imposition. In this case, you will
likely need to rebuild the ganged imposition.
●
Job archive, purge or retrieve—If you archive a ganged job, the
orginal PDF pages are copied and archived. If the ganged job is
retrieved, the pages are not linked to the original job.
●
Job export—If you export a ganged job, the original PDF pages are
copied and exported.
●
Versioned jobs—If you gang versioned pages, the original PDF
pages are placed in the imposition.
●
Copy job (to another server)—When a ganged job is copied to the
same server, page aliases are maintained. However, if a ganged job
is copied to another server, the original PDF pages are copied and
added to the job.
●
Other imposition software—If you use imposition software other
than Preps to gang pages, page aliases may not be created. Using
