Layered PDF Versioning
Layered PDF Versioning (LPV) is a prepress versioning system that is
flexible in its input file requirements, and efficient in its ability to output
multiple versions without manual workarounds. LPV is a system that
extracts content from refined pages by color, and merges them as
necessary to output multiple versions (or editions). Content can be
extracted from pages by layer if you are using layered input files.
LPV advantages
Prinergy LPV provides:
●
Support for several different input file models, including models that
support layered input files
●
A similar workflow for all supported input file models
●
Versioning plans that manage versions and layers
●
A new type of Prinergy layer for isolating change content, and the
ability to extract change content:
○
From a refined page by color (for non-layered input files)
○
From an input file by layer (for layered input files)
●
Simplified and reduced operator steps, including:
○
The ability to output plates for all versions from one process
○
A simplified plate output process that eliminates the need for
physical or digital double burns
○
A simplified output process that eliminates possible errors
caused by turning on and off separations for output
○
The ability to output proofs for all versions from one process as
well as the ability to output proofs for individual versions
○
No need to import imposition plans multiple times
●
Proofs that match the plates
●
The ability to output proofs in which all or selected versions can be
overlaid. This allows you to merge separations across version files.
(Proofing no longer requires Color Proofing System (CPS) to merge
separations across version files.)
●
Approval of individual versions of a versioned page. In addition, the
flexibility of being able to correct unapproved versions of a page
while protecting approved version content.
●
The ability to output multiple versions per surface
●
Viewing of multiple versions of a page in a single layered PDF 1.5 file
in Adobe Acrobat 6 or later
●
Support for automation—Different levels of automation are
supported.
●
The ability to override color extraction on selected versions of
versioned pages. This essentially enables you to use a different
version plan for selected versions of a page.
