Create a new application in PRISMAguide XL Engine

Introduction

This topic describes how you can create a new application. You can store this application as a recipe.

As example we create a double sided application with a logo on the front side.

Procedure

Open a PDF file in ONYX Thrive.
Select the PDF file and click on [PRISMAguide].
Select the PDF file in the job list and click on [New application] .
A new PRISMAguide XL Engine job is created. The file has two layers, one intended for the front and one for the back side. Also we want to add a watermark on the front side.
Open the [Files] tab.
Click on the button [New file] to add a file to the application.
Click on the icon to import the file.

In this example we added Watermark.pdf to the application.
Open the [Layers] tab.
Click on the duplicate button to create 2 extra layers.

We want to create 2 [Front] layers and one [Back] layer.
Move one layer to the back and define the [Layer source].

You can assign pages, layers or spot colors, present in the input file(s) as input to a print layer.

Select the following [Layer source] for each layer:
- Front 2: Input file-Layer-1
- Front 1: Double_sided.pdf-Layer-1
- Back 1: Double_sided.pdf-Layer-2
Set the offset values for the input file.
Define the place of the watermark on the front side.
Select [Front] 1 and [Front] 2 layer and click [Merge selected layers].

NOTE
A roll application can only have one layer for the front and one for the back side.
Open the [Overview] tab. Click-and-hold the left mouse button to rotate the 3D view to check the application. Notice that the watermark is visible on the front side of the application
Define the [Media layout] and [Print] specifications, then click on the [Print] button.

NOTE
You can save the application as a recipe for future use. See: Save an application as a recipe
