6-154 Advanced Features of DocBuilder Pro

ES3640e MFP EFI Job Management Guide - 154

Tips for using the Imposition feature of 

DocBuilder Pro

This section provides information that will help you get the most 
out of the imposition features of DocBuilder Pro.

Page-level operations

Consider the following when editing pages of a job:

Adding a binding offset

You can set gutters on each page independently to allow extra 
room for binding. For more information, see 

“Setting gutter sizes”

 

on page 6-151.

Perform all page-level edits in the Preview window

For best results, perform all desired page editing operations in the 
Preview window 

before

 applying imposition settings to a file. 

Although you can perform page edits, such as adding, deleting, 
and duplicating pages, within the main Imposition window, these 
edits will be lost when you apply imposition settings that alter the 
page layout.

Saving imposed jobs

When you save an imposed job, DocBuilder Pro does the 
following:

If new data has been added to the temporary PDF file, it is saved 
to the Fiery under the name you specify in the Save As dialog box.

The default name that appears in the Save As dialog box is that of 
the original spool file, with a new extension (.dbp). If you do not 
intend to overwrite the source file, you must enter a new name for 
the imposed job. The original PostScript or PDF remains intact, 
even after the converted file has been edited and saved in the 
Imposition window.

If imposition data has changed, the data is saved to the Fiery and 
associated with the new PDF.
