Page aliases are automatically created when you assemble with Preps and import a ganged job into Prinergy using these steps.
Requirements:
For this procedure, using Preps 6.0 imposition software or later is preferred. Preps versions 5 and earlier are no longer tested or supported.
Important: Do not gang pages until the content is stable. If you rerefine a page after it has already been ganged in Preps, the ganged layout is not imported into Prinergy.
- Start Preps.
- Place refined pages into Preps. All refined pages contain a hidden identification tag inserted on refine. You can place pages using any of the following methods:
- Drag the pages from Workshop Job Manager to Preps.
- Drag the files from the
System\Subpages
folder for the job to Preps. - Copy the files from the
System\Subpages
folder for the job to another location on the job volume (for example, a staging folder for gang jobs), either manually or using RBA. In Preps, locate and add the files.
- After you finish placing pages in the ganged imposition, print the imposition to PJTF.
- Import the populated imposition into a Prinergy job.
You can create a job specifically for the ganged imposition or use an existing Prinergy job. If you use an existing Prinergy job, the pages must have been refined in Prinergy 5 or later.
The import process template must have the Set Initial Separations option selected, so that the separations are properly assigned to the incoming imposition.
A page alias is created in the ganged layout for each tag that matches that of an existing page.
