Tip: The procedures in this guide describe how to perform tasks using the menu
bar. However, you can also quickly perform many tasks using the context menu by
right-clicking inside the Workshop window.
Exception pages to the version plan
If you have a job in which there are some pages that cannot use the
same color extractions as the rest of the job, you can use a color
extraction override to output those pages within the same versioning
job.
For example, consider a job in which the bulk of the pages requires only
a black plate change between versions, but one signature of one
version requires a four-color change. You can set up those pages for a
4-color change within the same job—essentially using a different
version plan for those pages.

Requirements for version plans
●
You can have only one version plan per LPV job, and only one job
can be associated with a version plan. (When using template jobs, a
copy of the version plan is created.)
●
Every version plan must have at least one base layer; however, the
base layer for a versioned page can be empty, which means that
each version of that page is unique.
●
If you are using non-layered input files, you must know what colors
are in each refined page, the content that the color represents, and
the final color (plate) to which the content must be mapped.
Note: If some colors in a refined page are not assigned to a layer in the version
plan, these unassigned colors will be placed on an error layer in Acrobat for the
versioned page after it has been generated.
If you are using layered input files, colors are automatically determined
and populated in the version plan. Ensure that the colors in the refined
files are the correct separation colors to be used.
Version name best practices
The length of each version name is limited to 64 characters. However,
we strongly recommend that the length of version names be
minimized, especially if you are using Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).
Version name best practices for AFP
If you are using AFP, and you plan to output proofs to file, the version
name is only one of several components that make up the output file
name. This means that the output file name can very easily exceed 31
