There was a script for macs floating around many years ago. Good luck finding it now though...

Adding page numbers

When we have a file for impostion that dosnt have folios we either add them with Pitsop actions "add Page number" global action or in Indesign on the master page. Just place the page number 1/8 below the trim (depending on your gutter) and open up the bleed box. Its MUCH less time consuming then adding Variable text.

I found this on Kodak's site. Never used it so I can't vouch for it.

Here is a little bit more info on that:

Text Variable - Page number - GUA Forums

Print page numbers outside job - GUA Forums

I have not used it either.

I just tried that script in Preps 5.3, and previewed the job. It works great! It does show the page numbers, just outside the bleed. For jobs that dont have page numbers, this should help alot when folding up the proofs and the final printed piece.

I didnt do any thing with the PPD yet, but you place the scripts into the scripts folder in your main Preps folder in the Applicatioins folder. Then once you open up the file that you want to place the page number in, click on the Scripts icon on the menu bar at the top. The scripts icon is to the left of the Help button on the menu bar. Then when you go to preview the job, you will see the page numbers in the actual job, just out side of the bleed area. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I didnt notice that you said PC. I doubt it will work on a pc version. I will try it later on my pc version of Preps which I have on my home pc.

If your preps is set up on the prinergy server then you are half way there.
You probably run prinergy seperate from preps. However if you have it set up to launch within prinergy then it already resides on a pc.

could u explain in details pls..

When you launch Preps 5.3 you should be doing it through Prinergy. Instead of just clicking on Preps on a mac. I think it is up top on the Prinergy menuthat says configure Imposition Plrogram or Launch Imposition Program. Its been a while.

I see the future of prepress manager gets stumped, so like everything else they google it. If and when they got no answer they go to one of the prepress forums, at this stage you may need someone to vpn in and work on the system. Of course this may cost money. End of story.
