Example of TIFF Workflow and Layout Approval

Except for the variations described below, proceed as in the PDF page approval workflow. See Example: PDF Workflow and Page Approval.

Deviations:

Prinect Cockpit: ImpositionProof Sequence

The parameters for the SendImposedPDF sequence are almost identical to those of the SendAssem­bledPDF sequence in Example 1, see SendAssembledPDF Sequence .

Deviations:

•The "Combine Documents" step doesn't exist. An Acceptance Form is also not needed.

•The "Approve Page" step is called "Approve Imposition" in this sequence.

•"Rendering" work step: "Proof Color Management" must be disabled.

•"Remote Approval" work step: Select the approval tool you want, for example "Web Approval".

Web: Layout Approval

•To approve the layout, go to the open job > "Sheet Approvals" tab in the Web User Interface.

•If the job has a page approval sequence, approval of a sheet is possible only if all the pages on this sheet were approved. In this case, first go to the "Pages/Page Approvals()" tab and approve the PDF pages. If you see a green light in the "All pages approved" column, then all the pages are approved and the sheet is ready for approval.

•Approval is done sheet by sheet. Click "Approve" in the "Actions" column and continue in the query dialog that then displays like in page approval. If you open the Web User Interface using the e-mail link, the query dialog for the first sheet to be approved is already open. If necessary, you must click "Refresh" to display the modified approval status.

Prinect Cockpit: Finish the Job after Customer Approval

The production shop (internal users) receives a notification e-mail per approval. You receive an e-mail per approved sheet if you selected "Front and Back in Separate Files" in the approval sequence, as recommended in this example. If you selected "Entire Layout in One File", you approve all the sheets at one go and also receive only one e-mail.

•Click "Jobs" > "Layouts" step instead of "Pages".
