Base and change
content are extracted
from refined files
Each base and change
content is defined on a
different version plan
layer. You can have
more than one change
layer in a version.
You generate the virtual
versioned page to create a
layered PDF file. All
change content for a
version appear together on
one PDF layer.
When a layered PDF file is
output as separated proofs
or output to plate, each
version’s base and change
content that have the
same color are merged.

Multiple bases
If necessary, you can use multiple bases in your job.
For example, consider the retail catalog scenario, but with different
images for the English and the Spanish editions. This would require two
bases.
