A job that was previously saved from any version of the software can be reopened when it needs to be completed, revised, printed, or reprinted.

You can save and close a job with product intent only, and then reopen the job later to complete the layouts.

Also, note the following points about file compatibility between software versions:

  1. Select File > Open.
  2. Locate and open the JOB or JDF file.
  3. Respond to any messages about issues with the job file.
    For example, messages that tell you if a legacy job contains static marks or if its referenced template is missing.
  4. Make your changes, and save the job.
    The JOB file format stores the job layout information with no reference to a template. 
    Note: In earlier versions of Preps this data was stored separately in TPL files.
