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.

For more information, see Set trim marks.

Note: Fiery Impose Plus 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.

  1. Select File > Save.
  2. Choose a location to save the file in the Where menu.
  3. Clear the Flattened check box.

Save a job as a flattened PDF

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

Note: When you save as a flattened PDF, you might want to give the job a new file name to avoid overwriting your original PDF file.

In Fiery Impose Plus, a flattened PDF does not include tab and blank sheet pages, but does include implicit blank pages. When you save a job, the save window remembers where you saved it and whether you saved it as a flattened PDF and uses these options the next time you save a job.

  1. Select File > Save.
  2. Type a filename in the Save as field.
  3. Choose a location to save the file in the Where menu.
  4. (Optional) Click Settings.
