Artworkname

Name of the input page (same as Page)

Color

If the separation is a spot color, see Full Color Spot Names check box below this table.
See %LongColorName%.

Colorant

Custom Fields:
%CustomfieldJob%
%CustomfieldSubpage%
%CustomfieldPageset%
$[CustomFieldPagePosition]
%CustomfieldPage%
%CustomfieldImposition%
%CustomfieldSignature%
%CustomfieldSurface%
%CustomfieldSeparation%

In Prinergy you can create custom fields for jobs or for elements within a job, so that you can track unique information about the job or element.
You can use custom fields to create variable marks and custom file naming. For example, if you have created custom fields at the job level or job element level (page, page set, imposition, signature, surface, and separation), you can use them for variable marks and custom file naming.

To create a filename based upon custom field, it is necessary to specify the name of the custom field in the custom filename syntax. Custom field filenames take the content that you define for the custom field as a parameter. For example: 

%CustomFieldJob_Salesperson%.%extension%, "Salesperson" is the name that you defined for a job-level custom field, and the value of the field would be the custom filename, for example, Bob.pdf.

%ImpositionJDFName%
%SignatureJDFName%
%SheetJDFName%

If you want to name the PPF file with values taken from JDF file, delete the variables that appear by default in the Filename Template box and enter these custom fields.

Extension

Appropriate file name extension based on the output type.
For example, if the output is for the Virtual Proofing System, the %JOB<6>%.%EXTENSION% template would generate the file name TestJo.vps.

Imposition

Name of the imposition

Job

Name of the job

Jobname

Name of the job (same as Job)

%%

%% is replaced with %. If the file or job name has % in it, use %% in the tag to get % in the name.

LongColorName

Replaces the spot color name with the full length name for the spot color, such as PANTONE 300C. This enables the PrintLink digital-ink profiling software external file name to identify the spot color name.

OriginalPagename

Name of the input page without the refiner.
For example, if the job name is TestJob and the page name is front.p1.pdf, the %ORIGINALPAGENAME%.pdf template would generate the file name front.pdf. In this example, 'p1' is the refiner.

OriginalArtwork

Name of the input page without the refiner (same as OriginalPagename)
For example, if the artwork name is front.p1.pdf, the %ORIGINALARTWORK%.pdf template would generate the file name front.pdf. In this example, 'p1' is the refiner.

PaddedSheet<n>

Sheet number is padded with zeros to create a number with n digits.
For example, if the tag used is PaddedSheet<3>, sheet 1 is represented as 001.

PaddedSignature<n>

Signature number is padded with zeros to create a number with n digits.
For example, if the tag used is PaddedSignature<3>, signature 1 is represented as 001.
This feature also works with the pageset position. For example, if the tag used is PaddedSignature<3>, pageset position 1 is represented as 001.

Page

Name of the input page.
Note: The input page name is not the same as the input file name.

Pagename

Name of the input page (same as Page)

Pageset

Name of the page set

Signature

Signature number

Sheet

Sheet number

Surface

Letter corresponding to the surface (A = front, B = back)

Username

Name of the current operator

Version

Number that is given to the output file. The system always sets the version field to 0 for the most recently created file. The second most recent file would be changed to 1 from 0. If there is a third output file, it would be changed to 2 from 1 and so on.
