Save an imposed job

You can save an imposed job as a regular imposed job or "flattened" PDF on the Fiery Server or local disk.

Saving a job as a "flattened" PDF allows you to print the job or file on different printers that may not have a processor imposition capability. The flattened PDF can easily be sent to customers for remote signature level proofing.

Note: Impose cannot save a VDP imposition job in Adobe PDF format.

Save a job as a regular imposed job

When you save as a regular imposed job, you save the job to the Fiery Server with extension .dbp with the job ticket. You can then reopen the job and make changes.

Choose Save from the File menu.
Select Save as a regular imposed job and modify the Job Name if desired.

Save a job as a flattened PDF

When you save as flattened PDF job/file, you can save back to the Fiery Server or local disk and archive the imposed PDF for future reprinting.

Important: When saving as flattened PDF, Fiery Impose adds the extension .dbp to avoid overwriting the source file. To use a different extension and not overwrite the source file, give the job a new file name.

Choose Save from the File menu.
Select Save as a flattened PDF job/file and click Settings.
Set any of the following for Rotation and Security.
- Rotation - for the Front and Back of the signature
- Security - for the Adobe PDF
Choose one of the following:
- Choose Job Name if you want to save the job as a flattened PDF file back to the Fiery Server.
- Choose File Name if you want to save the job as a flattened PDF file to the local disk.
