5. Build verification - Many variable data print jobs use the build capabilities of the design software to create jobs for each page and wait for the machine to print. Occasionally there will be only 8 pages after a 9-page job group version. PDF proofing allows the operator to preview and confirm the correctness of the build. Usually most customers do not see the situation of the group version, they see only a single page situation.
6. RIP Positioning Confirmation - Incorrect RIP settings may cause the paper to be printed outside the paper. However, since the PDF file is created, the same RIP settings will be used in the specified job, and the position of the image will be checked by PDF.
7. Style validation - We can create data for the entire print job (possibly 5000 pages) or limit the final PDF file to contain only styles, possibly only one style. The check of the style ignores the so-called "personalized layers" and the styles on each proof are the same. Such a designer can really watch all the variable jobs without previewing the files page by page. Its completion is accomplished by evaluating the database and picking items that may affect the layout. In the future, PDFProofStreamer may be automatically completed.
8. Data Security and File Integrity - Many organizations (such as an investment company) may not give up control of the customer database. Instead of submitting confidential databases to printers, they create, produce, and proof a complex variable data job at their own organization's printing house. The entire job can be checked, sampled, and signed by the user for remote printing. When all the content is set up, simply send the PDF print file and provide the details of the specific parameters to the printing shop for printing, binding, and packaging. As a result, some sensitive information is protected, printers cannot access a pure database, and the integrity of information is protected.
9. Operator Training - The operator can gain valuable experience in preparing the job without spending precious time on the press. Students can use distance learning to proofread variable data print jobs without wasting a sheet of paper.
Summary: We have found that our customers need a more efficient way to proof their variable data jobs and that they do not want to take up valuable press time. They need a secure way to protect their data and have the freedom to access their remote on-demand printing shop. They also require more efficient training of prepress people who print with variable data and do not want to influence the yield of printing. . PDF proofing with ProofStreamer developed for Acrobat makes the job creation process and learning how to create short print jobs and variable data printing processes more economically.
