Job workflow with Prepress Portal

1. In Prepress Portal software, the customer creates a job, which appears as a Pre-Production job in Prepress Portal and as a pre-job with a status of Created in Workshop.
2. In Prepress Portal, the customer adds input files using any one of many methods available.
   For information, see the Prepress Portal documentation.
3. In Prepress Portal, the customer promotes the Pre-Production job (which is a pre-job in Prinergy) to a Production job (which is a job in Prinergy).
4. In Workshop, you process the input files into pages.
   Tip: You can increase the display speed of PDFs in Prepress Portal by generating alternate low-resolution images which are used when customers open the PDFs in Prepress Portal. To do this, in the Optimize section of the refine process template, under Color & Grayscale Alternate Images, select Generate.
5. To review files, perform these action:
   1. In Prepress Portal, upload the processed input files and set the status of each page to Request Approval.
      Note: You can set the customer approval status of each page to Approval Requested in Prinergy Workshop, but the customer will not receive an InSite email notification unless you have set up a rule in Prinergy Rules-Based Automation.
   2. In Prepress Portal, the customer reviews the pages, annotates, approves, or rejects them, and requests correction of annotated pages.
   3. Make the corrections as needed.
   4. In Workshop, reprocess the files.
   5. Repeat steps 5a to 5d above until all the customer approves all of the pages.

From this point, you complete the job as usual.
