Workflow: Prinect Renderer (via JDF)

The "Prinect Renderer (via JDF)" workflow replaces the old MetaDimension workflow. Specify the identifier of an output parameter template, the so-called "Product Code", as the "Output Type". This controls the type of output in the Prinect Renderer (comparable with the previous "Output Plan" in MetaDimension).

In other words, a group template (e.g. Qualify ImpositionOutput) must have been created first in the Prinect Cockpit with a product code. This product code is then entered in the output parameters in Prinect Signa Station as the "Output Type" for the Prinect Renderer.

Prinect Signa Station then creates a populated layout using this code. A job is then created automat­ically in the Prinect Cockpit, the layout imported, the group template belonging to the product code added for processing and processing initiated with the input PDFs.

A JDF layout is then written to the set output folder and a folder named "<outputname>.content" cre­ated parallel to this, to which the PDF documents used in the Prinect Signa Station job and the marks layer PDF will be copied. In contrast to the usual Prinect Cockpit output, all color settings of Prinect Signa Station are written to the Renderer JDF.
