5-3 Job previews
When it opens, the main window displays the job imposed using a default layout, or
the layout that was last associated with the job (if the job has been previously
imposed). Templates for common layouts are provided and can be invoked from the
main window as described in “Using templates” on page 5-8.
Job previews
The main window provides a preview of a job’s pages before the job is RIPped,
allowing you to manipulate the source PDF before rasterizing the job.
Pages appear as a printer’s spread; that is, they appear in the order in which they are
printed as an imposed job. In contrast, a reader’s spread shows pages in the order they
are intended to be read. You’re already familiar with such a view—the Thumbnail A
and Thumbnail B windows image jobs as reader’s spreads.
