Use Mixed Files to PS when outputting separated PDF files. If you are outputting composite PDF files, use the Preps PDF-to-PDF workflow. See Creating a PDF to PDF Preps imposition plan.
Important: You cannot create imposition files using a mix of PDF and PostScript files because Prinergy Evo only accepts PDF files for output. You must refine or distill your PostScript files before creating an imposition plan.

    • filename.jt.pjtf or filename.jdf, which is the job ticket (imposition plan)anchor
    filename.ps, which contains the marks informationBookmark192_task3773__result_839FC14CB6E

    Conver the marks (filename.ps) file to PDF before submitting the imposition plan. If you have a refine to PDF workflow, the filename.ps information can be converted to PDF automatically when you submit the file to a refine to PDF template submission channel. Otherwise, use Acrobat software to distill the marks file using the recommended settings.
