User preference for PS to PDF conversion • EFI Impose uses PDF as its internal process file format. When a job is in PostScript format, the PS file is automatically converted to PDF while the file is being loaded by the application. (NOTE: The quality of the conversion is governed by Distiller's PDF settings.) • Increases control over PDF conversion. • Enables the user to create different PDF settings for different workflow needs without the need to alter the pre-defined PDF settings. Delivery Options • Delivery Options provides flexibility for users by allowing them to alter the output order and printing characteristics of the imposed sheets (signatures). It also changes the output sequence of the signature. • There are three deliver options: • Output Face: Face up/down: � This is like the PPD setting Face Up/Down. • Sequence: default / reverse: � This is like the PPD setting 1 to N; N to 1. • Nested Saddle Group Sequence: Default / Reverse. � Controls the output sequence of the nested saddle group. 1 to N, N to 1 in group; not by sheet. • Server-based EFI Impose offers greater control during later stages of document production. • These controls allow the users to prepare the printing sheets (signature) in the manner which best suits the finishing operation once the job is printed.
