What you need to know
Benefits of adding a page set manually
If you added a page set manually, when you import the imposition plan, you have the following options:
- Link the imposition plan to the existing page set
- Create a new page set
In the first case, any pages that you have assigned to the page set are automatically assigned to the corresponding positions of the imposition plan. The advantage of this is that you can do page assignment in Prinergy Workshop before you know what imposition plan you will be using. Once the imposition plan has been identified, you can import an unpopulated imposition plan and link it to the page set, and pages are automatically assigned to the positions of the imposition plan
Adding a page set automatically with imposition import
If you create a page set by importing an imposition plan into Prinergy Workshop, the page set is linked to the imposition plan. Then, if you assign a page to a position in the imposition plan in Prinergy Workshop, the page is also assigned to the corresponding page position in the page set. Alternatively, if you assign a page to a position in the page set, the page is also assigned to the corresponding position in the imposition plan to which the page set is linked.
