Step

Description

 

 

Impose

Allows you to do the following:

 

• Use imposition to define the placement of page elements.

 

• Place crop marks.

 

• Select various job types—for example, signature booklets and

 

N-up.

 

• When the PREPS impostion node is selected, choose from a list

 

of preconfigured PREPS imposition job files.

 

• Select from various PDF Boxes.

 

• Select Cell Clustering, which provides the option of pulling

 

together cells on a sheet in a way that results in cell sizes that

 

contain the imposed page image with no waste space between

 

cells.

 

The Preview option allows you to dynamically view the content

 

before committing to the selected settings.

 

 

Crop

Allows you to automatically crop jobs consisting of one or more

 

PDF pages and JPEG, TIFF, or BMP file images. For PDF

 

documents, crops the pages; for JPEG, TIFF, or BMP files, crops

 

the images.

 

 

Pressmarks

Allows you to add a fixed pressmark to a workflow. You can

 

specify the pressmark placement, rotation, frequency, and

 

transparency, and then preview the specifications. The Preview

 

option allows you to dynamically view the content before

 

committing to the selected settings.

 

 

Review

Can be used multiple times, at critical points in a workflow, to

 

view, check and edit the PDF file using Adobe Acrobat.

 

When stopped at the Review step, you can change process

 

settings, resubmit the job to a previous step for additional

 

processing, view a soft proof, or print a hardcopy proof.

 

You can approve the job and allow it to move to the next step in

 

the workflow, or you can fail the job.

 

If there is a Print step after the Review step, you can select

 

[Copies] to access the Copies dialog and change the number of

 

copies to print.

 

 

Notify

Provides job status notification via e-mail. Allows you to attach

 

job files up to a maximum size of 1 GB.

 

 

Print

Allows you to print PDF, VPC, or RDO (for reprint) files to a

 

specified production printing queue using a specified job ticket.

 

For information about reprinting RDOs, refer to the topic “About

 

submitting RDOs.”

 

 

Save

Allows you to save all supported file types from the workflow to a

 

specified location in a Windows file system or document

 

repository.

 

You can also use Save to direct or “branch” a job to other

 

workflows by designating a hot folder as the Save location.
