To apply Print Presets in the Designer, select File > Print or Proof Print and then select an
Output Creation Preset and (optional) Job Creation Preset from the drop-down lists in the Print
dialog. It will be indicated if the current data doesn't contain the fields required by the selected
Job Creation Preset.
In Workflow there are special plugins that work with Print Presets; for more information see
"Print processes with OL Connect tasks" on page186.
In order to use Print Presets in a print process they must be sent to Workflow in advance; see
"Sending files to Workflow" on page433.
Job Creation Presets
A Job Creation Preset is a file that contains settings for creating a print job. It is used after a
template has been merged with data, but before the actual print output file is produced. Merging
a template with data results in a set of print content items. Based on the settings in a Job
Creation Preset, the Connect server can take a number of actions on a set of print content
items. The actions are described below.
Select File > Print Presets > Job Creation Settings... to run the "Job Creation Presets
Wizard" on page1151.
Note
The Job Creation options are also available in the Advanced Printer Wizardin the
Designer, which appears when you select File > Print (or Proof Print) and click the
Advanced button. However, the Advanced Printer Wizard cannot save your settings to
file for re-use.
Tip
When a Print template is merged with data by a process in Workflow, the resulting print
content items are saved in the Connect database. These items can be retrieved later on
(using the Retrieve Items task in the Workflow) so that they can be re-used and combined
in new print runs. This is called batching and commingling. (See also: "Batching and
commingling" on page190.)
