Integrate with imposition software

The problem

  • Many production companies in graphic arts receive native page layout and illustration files from applications such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or even MS Word
  • Often these native-application files need to be converted to PDF for print production, distribution or other processes

The solution

With this solution, Switch routes files to and from existing imposition software, then to print or RIP queues:

  • Jobs enter the flow via a Submit Point and are then sorted by imposition intent.
  • Jobs to processed by a hotfolder-based imposition solution are routed to the correct input hotfolder. Keeping the Switch job prefix allows and metadata associated with the job to be maintained after imposition.
  • Wide-format jobs are routed to an imposition app created by an Enfocus partner. After the app imposes the job, it is routed further in the flow.
  • Switch routes the imposed jobs to the intended RIP based on metadata associated with the job.

The benefits

  • Seamless connectivity between imposition and production.
  • Keep your jobs moving in a consistentreliable and efficient way.
  • Use your existing imposition solution.
