[Tri-fold out]
In a [Tri-fold out] there is one sheet folded in 6 panels. The two parallel folds go in opposite
directions. Each side of a sheet is a PDF page.
This is a simple zig-zag fold where each panel is about the same size.
[Tri-fold out] is applied to all pages in the document.
[Z-fold]
The [Z-fold] is a variation of the [Tri-fold out]. In an [Z-fold] one panel is twice the size of the other
two.
[Z-fold] is applied to one sheet in the document.
Preflight
The preflight operation checks if any rules are violated in the PDF file(s). The set of rules is fixed.
Some of the rules can be configured.
If enabled, the automatic preflight operation is applied when a customer submits an order. The
automatic preflight operation allows you to fix the violations according to the configured rules or
cancel the operation with that document.
A preflight report and an annotated file are generated. The preflight report shows a summary of
the problems that have been found. The annotated file shows the complete document with the
location of any found problems and fixes. The manual preflight operation automatically fixes the
violations according to the configured rules. Some problems are detected by the preflight
operation, but cannot be fixed automatically. It is recommended that you fix these problems
manually before you print the job.
Automation templates
You can automate a repetitive task so that you can do the task again with a single click. You can
create an automation template for each repetitive task. For example, you want to apply the same
layout to certain documents. Each template is added to the template catalog. The templates are
displayed alphabetically in a list. They can be applied manually or automatically. The benefits of
the automation templates are:
• Saving time and minimizing errors as the layout is standardized and preparation is done in the
background.
• Consistent layout in a multiple operator environment.
