A slugline mark does not need a PDF file, so you can easily
place a mark without creating a PDF file. However, a slugline
mark is just a line of text or a variable mark. You can only
specify the text size.
●
In the
Slugline mark
box, type the text or variable mark.
●
In the
Text size
box, type the font size for the mark.

Note: If you are using a variable mark in your slugline, the
_offset
and
_replace
parameters, and any page-oriented variables parameters, are
not currently supported.
Creating page and sheet mark files that include variable marks
Use these best practices when creating a file that will be used as a
page mark or sheet mark with Prinergy
To create page mark or sheet mark files, use software such as Adobe
InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, or QuarkXPress that allows registration
color.

More information
For variable marks (such as
$[color]
), choose fonts
that can be fully embedded so that the entire character
set is available.
Note: OpenType fonts are always subset, so they
cannot be used for variable marks. Unfortunately,
Illustrator software does not indicate which fonts are
OpenType and which are TrueType or PostScript Type
1, making it more difficult than InDesign to avoid the
OpenType fonts. Three fonts that
will
fully embed with
InDesign CS4 are BeaufortPro, ChaparralPro and
MyriadPro. Although these fonts display an OpenType
icon they are in reality Type 1 fonts.
InDesign CS5 is much better than CS4 at allowing the
full embedding of fonts, with many of the standard
fonts now working.
