• If you plan to create a number of print jobs that share the same Resources (such as colors,
style sheets, trapping settings, color management settings, and page sizes), you might want
to create one Job Jackets file for all of those print jobs. For example, if you're a design firm
that serves several different clients, each of which has its own visual identity, you might
create one Job Jackets file for each client.
• If you are in charge of a design group and you'd like to make sure that every layout artist
working on a particular project (such as a promotional campaign) uses the exact same
Resources, you might want to create a Job Jackets file and Job Ticket template containing
those Resources, and have all of the layout artists share that Job Jackets file.
• If you are an output provider and you have a particular press with particular requirements,
you might create a Job Jackets file that captures that press's requirements for your customers
(and thus helps them to avoid exceeding those requirements). You might even be able to
download a Job Jackets file containing a press's requirements from the press manufacturer.
Creating a Job Jackets file: Basic mode
To create a Job Jackets file using basic mode:
1
Open the Job Jackets Manager dialog box (Utilities > Job Jackets Manager).
2
If more than one list displays in the dialog box, click Basic Settings to show the basic
pane.
3
Click the New Job Jackets button . The New Job Jackets dialog box displays.
4
Enter a name for the Job Jackets file in the Name field.
5
If you plan to allow multiple users to share this Job Jackets file, check Share this Jacket.
If you do not check this box, the Job Jackets file will be embedded in the active project (if
any). Note that if you do not share the Job Jackets file now, you can do it later through
the Collaboration Setup dialog box (File menu). For more information, see "Collaborating
with shared Job Jackets."
6
If you checked Share this Jacket in the previous step, specify where the Job Jackets file
should be stored by choosing an option from the Save in drop-down menu:
• To use the default location (see "Linked and embedded Job Jackets"), choose Default Jacket
Folder.
• To store the shared Job Jackets file in the same folder as the active project, choose Project
Folder.
• To store the shared Job Jackets file somewhere else, choose Other and browse to a target
directory (such as a networked volume available to all of the layout artists).
