The following new features are available in version 1.21.2 of the Workflow:

Impose Editor – In version 1.21.2, existing functions have been extended and improved:

• Multipage Files – Consistent Support in the Application – Since the implementation of the Impose Multipage Print Items feature in version 1.21.0, Multipage Print Items can now be processed consistently not only in the Impose Editor but also in Automation Jobs in combination with an Imposition. [PPDWF-10481]
• Multipage Print Items – Preparation Strategies – During file upload, the system determines whether all pages or only the first page of a Multipage Print Item are prepared. Based on the selected strategy, preview images are provided either for all pages or only for the first page, in both the Impose Editor and the tab "Print Item". [PPDWF-11487] [PPDWF-11489] [PPDWF-11589] [PPDWF-8463]
• Warning for Unprepared Pages – As of version 1.21.2, a warning is displayed when opening a Multipage PDF in the Impose Editor that was uploaded before version 1.21.2 and contains pages that have not been prepared. [PPDWF-11490] [PPDWF-11538]
• Placement Logic – Roll Substrate – In version 1.21.2, the placement logic for roll media was changed. As of this version, the longest Print Item is placed first on the roll media, rather than the Print Item with the largest area. This allows for optimal utilization of the material. [PPDWF-11614]
• Scaling Print Items – The ability to scale Print Items in the layout not only proportionally (by percentage) but also using absolute values has been introduced. This functionality is available in the "Edit Print Item" dialog. [PPDWF-11185]
• Shape Nesting – Improved Calculation – Improvement of shape nesting results for rectangular components (Tetris) by introducing a negative rounding accuracy. [PPDWF-10628]
• Mark "Vision Hybrid" – Enhancements – Extension of the existing mark "Vision Hybrid" to include the option of creating a color of the Dieline as a separate circle (always the innermost circle) within the Vision circle mark. [PPDWF11374]
• "Finishing" Tab – Add Dielines – Ability to set the offset for Dielines individually on all four sides. (Previously, only a single value was possible. [PPDWF-11479]
• Impose Mode "Nesting" – Additional Option for "Uniform Rotation" – An additional option has been provided that allows a Print Item to be rotated in the Imposition in exceptional cases, even though the option "Uniform Rotation" is enabled. This permits rotating a Print Item when it would otherwise not fit in the Imposition due to the width or height of the substrate. [PPDWF-11503]
• Impose Mode "Step Repeat" – One Print Item per Column/Row for Multipage Imposition – Starting with this version, a new feature is available that allows you to keep Print Items in place using the option "One Print Item per Column/Row" for Multipage Step & Repeat Print Items. [PPDWF-10067] [PPDWF-9716]
• Impose Mode "Bound Product" – Saddle Stitching – Starting with this version, the creation, editing, management, and use of Bound Products with Saddle Stitching is available in the Impose Editor for the first time. [PPDWF-10181] [PPDWF-10216] [PPDWF-11105]
  • General Settings – For this Impose Mode, a Sheet Template and two Impose Templates are available. The Frontside and Backside of the created Impositions can be displayed.
  • Parameters for Saddle Stitching – Provision of parameters for defining the N-Up Requirements and the Shingling.
  • Crop Marks – For the positioning of crop marks, you can choose between a Signature and Signature N-Up.
  • Page Preview – The completed imposed booklet can be previewed page by page.
• Sheet Template – Flicker Nesting – Introduction of the ability to randomly offset the Imposition by a defined increment up to a maximum offset on the X and Y axes. This ensures that the cutting process on a cutter device does not always start at the same position (usually the upper-left corner). This protects the cutting mat in production and reduces the frequency of replacement. [PPDWF-5970]
• Impose Template – Grouping – Impose Templates are displayed in all dropdowns as well as in the system settings of the Impose Editor, grouped as follows – Single Page Output | Double-Sided Output | Multipage Output | Double-Sided and Multipage Output. [PPDWF-8748]
• Zooming and Scrolling – Enhanced Possibilities – Provision of new shortcuts for zooming and scrolling in the Impose Editor. [PPDWF-11802]

[PPDWF-10970] [PPDWF-11287] [PPDWF-11286]
  • Operation "Check Print Item and forward to" – The Operation Check Print Item and forward to allows a Print Item to be checked based on defined PDF properties and, depending on whether the check results in a match or not, to forward the Print Item to another Production Configuration or execute a different Action. [PPDWF-10897] [PPDWF-11314]
  • Operation "Check Print Item and Apply Fixups" – The Operation Check Print Item and Apply Fixups allows a Print Item to be checked based on PDF properties and, depending on whether the check results in a match or not, to process the Print Item with the selected Fixups or execute a different Action. [PPDWF-10896] [PPDWF-11300]
  • Operation "Check Print Item and Apply Fixup Chain" – The Operation Check Print Item and Apply Fixup Chain allows a Print Item to be checked based on PDF properties and, depending on whether the check results in a match or not, to process the Print Item with the selected Fixup Chain or execute a different Action. [PPDWF-11373] [PPDWF-11300]

New User Interface – In this version, the following bugs have been fixed in the new user interface:

• Calendar Display in Dark Mode – In Dark Mode, the calendar display – e.g., under Production Job > Production Date – was not displayed correctly. This error has been fixed. [PPDWF-11215]
• Cutter Devices – Tools and Assigned Colors – After assigning a color to a tool, the list of available colors was no longer displayed in the selection area. This issue has been fixed. [PPDWF-11264]
• Create Job – It was possible to create a Job even though required fields were not filled in. This behavior has been fixed. [PPDWF-11203]
• Edit Job – Substrate Information – Changes to Substrates – Category and Substrate – were not saved after editing the Job. This behavior has been corrected. [PPDWF-12050]
• Orders – List of Print Items – When Print Items were located in the "Trash", they still were displayed in the list of Print Items without any corresponding note. This error has been fixed. [PPDWF-11506]
• Orders – Stacktrace when changing the Color Policy – When a new Color Policy was assigned to a Print Item in an existing Order, a stacktrace could occur. This behavior has been fixed. [PPDWF-12042]
• Warning Display – Default Color Policy – In the new user interface, up to this version, no warning was provided in the dialog System Status > Configuration if no Color Policy had been selected under Administration > Settings > Color Management > General. This behavior has been fixed. [PPDWF-11674]
• List Production Jobs – The Output Configuration used was not displayed for individual records. The missing entry has been fixed. [PPDWF-12290]
• Create Production Job – When creating a Production Job, invalid Output Configurations could previously be selected. The selection list now contains only valid Output Configurations. [PPDWF-12106]
• Uploading RGB and Grayscale Profiles – It is not possible to upload RGB and Grayscale profiles. In this case, the backend returns an error. RGB and Grayscale profiles can be uploaded in the areas Working Color Space and Output Color Space under Administration > Settings > Color Management. [PPDWF-11867]

Print Item Detail View – Display of Technical Cut Contour as Areas – Dielines created with the fill rule nonzero were displayed as areas. This behavior has been fixed by taking the fill rule nonzero into account when drawing Dielines from this version onwards. [PPDWF-12059]

Uploading Print Items – Option "Preflight only (no corrections)" – Print Items that were not in PDF or AI format could not be processed when uploading with the option "Preflight only (no corrections)" enabled. This behavior has been fixed. [PPDWF-11706]

Creating Spot Color Definitions – Measuring Spot Colors – Selecting a measurement device by entering a term in the search field did not work reliably. This issue has been fixed. As of this version, the list of measurement devices is correctly filtered according to the entry in the search field. [PPDWF-11242]

Article List –Search – In the old user interface, it was no longer possible to search for Articles due to a new frontend controller. This behavior has been fixed. [PPDWF-11686]

Delete Article – if already used in a Production Job – Articles linked to a Production Job are duplicated upon deletion so that the Production Job remains valid. However, an error occurred because the old, already deleted Print Item was still referenced in the Imposition call. This issue has been fixed. As of this version, the duplicated Print Item is correctly used in the Imposition call. [PPDWF-11883]

Approval Report – Warning for Print Item Names that are too long – When using a Print Item Name longer than 260 characters, an unclear error message was displayed up to this version. This behavior has been fixed. As of version 1.21.2, a clear warning is displayed indicating that a file name may contain a maximum of 260 characters. [PPDWF-11336]

Approval Report – Report Name in Multipage Output – Previously, only the first page of multiple Print Items was included in the Multipage Output. As of this version, all Print Items are correctly displayed in a Multipage Report. [PPDWF-1142]

Quick Print – Use Expected Bleed – The value defined in the system settings was not taken into account when using Quick Print. The configured expected bleed is now also applied during Quick Print. [PPDWF-12370]

Batch Processing – Quick Filter "Error" – Automation Jobs with the status "Error" were not fully displayed when the quick filter was activated. This error has been fixed. [PPDWF-11727]

Batch Processing – Uploading Large Data Volume – When uploading many or very large files via the menu item Batch Processing, uploads were aborted in some cases. As a short-term solution, the "time-out" has been increased. A technical solution will be provided in upcoming releases. [PPDWF-12533]
