Creating or Importing Preps Impositions with 500 or more Signatures is not supported (PREPS-16758)
...
As of Preps 9.x, you cannot use “SIG” at the beginning of file names used for EPS & PDF PDF Custom Smart Marks. The “SIG” designation is reserved for Collation Marks and will not be recognized when creating Custom Smart Marks.
For EPS & PDF custom Smart Collation Marks, you need to add “SIG” to the beginning of the file name in order for Preps to recognize it as a Collation Mark. (PREPS-16747)
Solution:
Custom Smart Marks: Rename both the EPS and PDF (name not starting with “sig”). In Preps, link new EPS within current SMK.
Smart Collation Marks: Rename both the EPS and PDF (name starting with “sig”). In Preps, link new EPS within current SMK.
Update any existing templates with new SMK, as it also references EPS name. This can be done with a batch Find and Replace script.
