Using XMP data for a die line

Jobs can have XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform) data embedded in them. When jobs that have embedded XMP data, are imported into the Fiery server, the XMP data is retained as part of the job.
  1. Open a job in Version Editor in one of the following ways:
    • Right-click a job and select Version Editor.
    • Right-click a PDF Versioned job or a Die settings job and select Preview.
    • Select a PDF Versioned job or a Die settings job and click the Preview icon in the toolbar.
    The job appears in the Fiery Preview window. Thumbnails of the job display in the left pane and the selected page in the main pane.
  2. In the Fiery Preview window, click the Version Editor icon in the upper-right corner.
  3. In the Version Editor window, click the Spot colors tab. The list of spot colors available in the image are listed in the tab.
  4. In the Die Line section, click Select die line (pencil tip icon).
  5. In the Select die line dialog, select Use XMP data for die line. Click OK. The die line that uses the embedded XMP data appears in the Die Line section.
  6. Select the job in the Held list. Right-click and choose Process and Hold.

After the job is processed, you can open the job in Fiery ImageViewer to view the three surfaces that are generated. The three surfaces are Content, Die + content, and Die. The Die + content and Die surfaces are generated using the XMP data.
