Create and use a template palette to output PDF files as preview files

Create a New Template Palette

1. Start the Prinergy Evo client application.
2. From the Window menu, select New Template Palette.
3. In the New Template Palette dialog box, in the Name box, type a name for the template palette and click OK.
   The new template palette appears.
4.  In the Customize Template Palette dialog box, find the Output from PDF-VPSFactory process template stored in the Output from PDF process template group.
5. Drag the Output from PDF-VPS Factory process template to the template palette.
6. View your template palette with the Output from PDF-VPS-Factory icon.
7. Close the Template Browser.

Output PDF Files to Preview

1. Open the shared JobData file server volume, then open the Activity 01 folder and find these PDF files:
   • Wells.p3.pdf
   • Wells.p4.pdf
2. Select both Wells.p3.pdf and Wells.p4.pdf and drag them to the Output PDF-VPS icon in your new template palette.
3. In the Process Start dialog box, verify that the correct PDF files and process template are selected and then click Go.
4. If the Process Viewer is not already open, from the Window menu select New Process Viewer. Select Wells.p3.pdf and Wells.p4.pdf and view the status of the output process in the bottom of the Process Viewer window.
   Prinergy Evo generates several Prinergy Virtual Proofing System software preview files with the file extension .VPS for each of the PDF input files.
5. To find the Prinergy Virtual Proofing System software preview files, open the shared JobData file server volume, then open the Activity 01 folder.
   Note: The Prinergy Virtual Proofing System software preview files are placed in the location specified in the Output from PDF-VPS-Factory process template. In this process template, the output location of the VPS files is set to be the same location as the input source files.
