There will be less “Mac time” or prepress costs tacked onto their print jobs.
The savings will likely materialize in far fewer files being returned for rework in order to print correctly. They can save time by validating files before sending them off to print. Publishers can greatly improve their time-to-market by supplying quality, job-ready files to their vendors. The production requirements are a tad different between making plates for print and digital content for e-publishing. Publishers, on the other hand, have the added variable of dealing with file preparation for both print and digital outlets. Print production folks also preflight and prepare files for an array of output devices. Prepress teams in every print shop will get files from a variety of customers who have wide-ranging file preparation skills. You will have to park the common PDF in a location and refer to it in the app settings as each language layer PDF passes through for merging.By Zhenya Dean, Business Analyst Photographer: Aravind Kumar | Source: Unsplash You can submit this job as a folder of PDF files and make use of the Overlay PDF app to assemble each language onto the common elements. The customer has supplied you with a PDF for the common elements and one PDF each for the languages. Your results will be one PDF with each language layered onto the common elements. Using the layer name as the file name will do perfectly for this particular PDF. Within the properties of the app, you can assign which layers will be kept in each new PDF file and how to name each file.
You will make use of the Split PDF Layers app to create one PDF for each language, while keeping the common elements and marks in place. The customer has given you one layered PDF file with all of the languages. Requirements for this solution: PitStop Server 2020 and optionally, Overlay PDF and Split PDF Layers apps. In either scenario, you can handle these jobs with one Switch flow that contains both of the apps mentioned above. Your customer will either supply one PDF with each language in a separate layer or supply one PDF for the common elements and one PDF each for the languages.
This job type will typically be submitted in one of two ways. In this example, you are printing a children’s book in multiple languages. Using a combination of these two, you can handle versioned PDF submissions in an automated way. A related app, which is also free, is Split PDF Layers.
Born from the Overlay PDF Action List is the Overlay PDF app available for free on the Enfocus Appstore. Using an Action List, it is now possible to overlay one PDF file onto another. By Andrew Bailes-Collins, Senior Product Manager, Enfocus Dealing with language layers
