Versioned page generation
Generation is performed after refined page linking to produce a layered
PDF file for each versioned page. You must use a generate process
template to perform this task. After you perform the generate process,
you can use an output process template to output content and view the
versioned pages in Acrobat.

Layers vs. plates
In Prinergy LPV, base and change content are grouped differently in the
following:
●
Version plan layers
—are virtual layers that are defined in the
version plan and that are associated with content after linking
refined pages
●
PDF layers
—are layers in a PDF 1.5 file that is created after
versioned page generation. PDF layers can be viewed in Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 or later.
●
Separated output
—Proofs or plates that are created after starting
an output process for final output or for separated proofs)
Using the retail catalog scenario, the following figure illustrates how
base and change content appear in version plan layers, PDF layers, and
plates.
