Save out Preps template as a JDF file

[haha]

Hello! I am using Preps 5.3 and am looking to save my Preps templates as JDF files. Is this possible?

Thanks!

I just tried that for you out of Preps 5.3.3, and there is no such option that I can see. Why do you want to do that anyway?

Metrix by LithoTechnics will do that for you.

Al, we are looking to possibly switch over to a new workflow and have a ton of templates in Preps and are hoping we can import them into the new imposition software.

Joeno, I briefly looked at Metrix by LithoTechnics online and looks like it is an entire packaged workflow and then some. I am just looking to save out our Preps templates as JDFs to possibly use in another imposition software.

Roger, so just to clarify in Preps 6 when you create a new template you are able to save it as a JDF instead of a .tpl file?

In Preps 5.3 you will need to make a job with blank pages assigned to it and the template you want to use assigned and then Print to JDF file.
