Configure the proof PDF settings
A document prepared with PRISMAprepare can be proofed before production. A PDF of the
prepared document is generated, showing realistic pictures of the product, with all the finishing
artifacts (punched holes, staples, tabs …) and containing page media information. This generated
PDF file is called a [Proof PDF].
A proof PDF is used to show a customer the final layout of the product before final production.
You can generate a proof PDF in the [Production] workspace.
