Use Quick Doc Merge

Quick Doc Merge allows you to merge multiple files or jobs together so they can be printed as a single job on the Fiery Server.

Documents to be merged must be either PostScript or PDF format. When merged into one job on the Fiery Server, the job becomes VDP format.

A Quick Doc Merge job overwrites all Job Properties settings for the individual documents to the Fiery Server default settings. Therefore, you must set Job Properties after you combine the separate documents into the single Quick Doc Merge job.

  1. Do one of the following:

    • From Job Center, right-click a job in the Held list and select Merge Jobs.

    • Click Actions > Merge Jobs.

    Note: Only pre-processed jobs can be merged together.
  2. Click Add from Network to browse and select PostScript or PDF files to import.
  3. Click Add from Fiery to display a list of all PostScript and PDF files in the Hold queue on the Fiery Server.
  4. When the jobs you selected are listed, click Move Up or Move Down to change the order in which they are printed. Click Remove to remove a job.
  5. If desired, select Define each document as a separate finished chapter.

    Selecting this option applies finishing options for the job to each chapter. For example, if this option is selected and the merged job has the job property Stapled, each of the merged jobs is stapled individually. If the option is deselected, the entire merged job is stapled together.

  6. Type a name for the merged document in the Save QDM Job as field.
  7. Click Save.

    The job is created and listed in the Held list.

  8. Specify job properties for the new Quick Doc Merge job.
    Note: FreeForm settings in Job Properties cannot be applied to a Quick Doc Merge job.
