Create a new application in PRISMAguide XL Engine

Introduction

This topic describes how you can create a new application. To use the same settings later, you can store this application as a recipe.

In this example we are creating a double sided application with an image (Watermark) that is not in the PDF. This image we want to add to the recipe.

Open a PDF file in ONYX Thrive.
Select the PDF file and click on [PRISMAguide].
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, so move one layer to the back.

Assign the [Layer source] and [Type] according to the table below.

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

Layer	[Layer source]	[Type]	Remark
[Front] 2	Input file-Layer-1	[Color]	The image is printed in CMYK. The layer will be merged with the other [Front] layer.
[Front] 1	Double_sided.pdf-Layer-1	[Color]	The image is printed in CMYK.
[Back] 1	Double_sided.pdf-Layer-2	[Color]	The image is printed in CMYK.
