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.

See Set Trim marks.

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.
Next to Where, choose a place on the Fiery server. Next to Format, make sure the Flattened box is not checked.

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 you save as a flattened PDF, you might want to give the job a new file name to avoid over-writing your original PDF file.

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

Choose Save from the File menu.
Next to Save as, type the filename.
Next to Where, choose the location to save the file.
If desired, click Settings next to the filename. Set any of the following for Rotation and Security.
- Rotation - for the Front and Back of the signature
- Security - for the Adobe PDF
Click OK.
