If the original file has multiple pages and many of the pages need corrections, you can create a corrected input file that includes all of the pages, similar to the original. When it is refined, all of the original pages are overwritten. Page assignments are preserved.
This approach may not be appropriate if manual edits were made to some of the pages—for example, manual traps and so on. Manual edits are overwritten when the entire set of pages is overwritten. This approach may also be inappropriate if the file takes a long time to write out of Quark or InDesign, or a long time to refine in Prinergy.
- Correct the pages in the source software, and create a new PDF file that includes all of the pages.
- Refine the new input file.
- If the original file was added using a hot folder, drop the revision file with the same name into the hot folder.
- If the original file was added manually in Workshop, overwrite the original file on disk with the revision file, and refine the revision file from Workshop. There is no need to re-add the file to Workshop.
Existing pages are overwritten. Page assignments are preserved.
Example
The original job file is book.pdf and it contains pages 1 through 98. Refining it in Prinergy creates the files book.p1.pdf through book.p98.pdf.
The corrected file is also called book.pdf and contains pages 1 through 98. Refining it in Prinergy creates the files book.p1.pdf through book.p98.pdf. This overwrites the existing refined pages and keeps any existing page assignments.
