Note: The Preps DLL on the Prinergy server (which is used to convert Preps jobs, JDFs, and so on to impositions) only works in Preps 6 mode. This means that sites with Preps 5 clients must migrate these clients to Preps 6 in order to edit Prinergy impositions. Check the Partner Place portal for online training resources, or contact your Kodak representative for training options. Preps version 5 and earlier are no longer tested or supported. Functions that previously used Preps 5 (for example, creation of impositions from within Prinergy jobs, creation of impositions outside of Prinergy jobs, editing of impositions, and so on) may still work, but if problems are discovered, customer support will advise upgrading to Preps 6.
Preps 5 templates can be migrated by opening and saving them in the Preps 6.2 standalone application. The Prep 6.2 application and DLL have been modified to translate Preps 5 templates to Preps 6 mode at the moment they're opened. (Preps 6 Mode refers to the software architecture used by the Preps DLL on the Prinergy Server, not the software version itself).
* Not all releases of the imposition software are qualified. For the most current information, contact a service representative.
For information about other imposition software, please contact your imposition software vendor.
Note: Portable Job Ticket Format (PJTF) files can have extensions other than .pjtf—for example, .jt.
