Undo Redo

All undo objects which hold an reference to a collection of objects creates a
copy of this array because the original array can be cleared by the caller.

Opening documents
Hotkey for loading document
When pressing the SHIFT key when opening a document in
PRISMAprepare, the page program (ODW3 or ODW4) is not read from the
document.
The behaviour is the same as opening a document without page program.

Print to PDF
An extra printer in added to the PRCs printerlist named PRISMAprepare
print to PDF. By selecting this printer the user can print the document to a
PDF file, which can be entered in the dialog which pops up.
The created PDF file will also include ghostpages but its page program will
be deleted, so it can be reopened as clean document in Prepare.
The browse button can be used to select the filename. This dialog will check
if the path is valid, the file is writeable. The function is robust agains the
normal disk failures (diskfull, rights).

be cancelled.
1.2.4
Accounting
The PBE will send events to the client (e.g. OC) to add accounting
information in the log file of the client. The information that is sent is the
same as a old P3E module would sent. It is up to the client to write the
information to the right place.
1.2.5
PBEStarter
A PBE starter is added. It is used for the integration between PA and PP. It is
used internally by the the PA team.
1.2.6
Print Performance
The print performance is improved. In the past, a new pdf page was created
for each page to print. At this moment, the pdf pages are reused.
The normalize step is also removed before printing and as a result we do not
need the progress step Analyzing document anymore so this step is
removed.
1.2.7
Acrobat 8 Integration
1.2.7.1
Registration
The OAPPlugin needs information about the install path of Acrobat. It
extracts this information from the registry:
HLM\Software\Adobde\AdobeAcrobat\8.0\InstallPath. It expects here a full
local path to the acrobat.exe file

Memoryleaks
We known that there are memory leaks. We hope that the test group will help
with identify the situations where the memory increases and how severe the
problem is.
There is no improvement in the shutdown behavior.
1.2.7.2.3
Shutdown behavior
The shutdown behavior has become worse. Currently it is not allowed to use
acrobat next to prepare.

UNICODE awerenes
To support simplefied Chinese (amongst others) we must support UNICODE
characters. The OAP component implements an interface wich contains
several methods that have strings as a parameter. Some of wich must
support UNICODE.

Printing a PDF
Print a PDF from PRISMAprepare to a local port (containing unicode
chartacters in the portname), enter a medianame with unicode chareacters in
the PBE before printing. It is not possible to print to a printer with unicode
characters in the printer name (at least; not with an english version of
Acrobat).

DixToICA
The converting of a job from DPConvert to Dix to ICA supports the media
color Ivory. Ivory-colored media can be defined, used and send to a printer.
2.1.3
BoundingBox
A new implementation to determine the bounding box has been
implemented. It has become faster, but is still very slow. Documents of
+1000 pages take long to open, and there is no progress information of
certain steps. So the functionality should be ok now (shift content of a tab
sheet in the PW), but opening a document or updating the document before
printing is very slow.

2.2.1
Changes in PBE
Accounting
A log file is produced according to Interface Specification - Account Log File
Specification for PRISMAaccess and PRISMAprepare (IS-acc-logging.doc).
The path where the logfile is written depeneds on what is installed and what
kind of job is printed. Prepare can be installed stand alone or in combination
with PRISMAaccess.
A PDF that is printed with PBE of Prepare is concidered to be an Access job
when the file path contains JOBS and some guid.
When a release key and the storagepath can be retrieved from the registry, it
is assumed that Access is installed.

Each day a new logfile is created, the active log file(s) are named *.ACL.
inactive logfiles are called *.CSV.
If a file is not accessible, a new file is created with a postfix in the file name
_nr. Each time something has to be written in an account-log file, Prepare
will try to make old active log files inactive and add logging to the latest
active logfile (latest means with the highest number as postfix).
The are a maximum of 100 inactive files.
PS: Currently there is a discussion going on of what accounting should be.
So there might concept changes in the future, and it is not clear if this
functionality will make it in the released version.

2.2.3
Print to PDF
PDF Documents created with the Print2PDF functionality can now be reopened in Prepare. In the previous increment this could lead to a open
doucment failed situtation because the PDF still contained some page
programming information.
2.2.4
DixToICA
PBE supports the media color Ivory. AutoLoad settings can be stored in the
PDF; when the job is printed the AutoLoadSettings will appear in the
PrintDialog. The default printer will be used and JobName and PrintRange
will not be automatically automatically loaded. AutoLoadSettings are the
same as ReprintSettings only they are loaded automatically. The settings I
just mentioned are not part of the ReprintSettings(speced), so thay are not
part of the AutoLoadSettings either.

Acrobat 8 Integration
Visibility of the Prepared document in Acrobat
TODO:
Prepare 4.1 runs on Acrobat 8.
Known problems:
All Acrobat 8 instances are hidden, even if the user starts his own
Acrobat session.
During print the windows become shortly visible.
2.3.2
Shutdown behavior
A new implementation of the shutdown behavior has been implemented. In
this implementation Acrobat take the initiative to check whether Prepare is
still alive.
The Acrobat plug-in checks every 5 seconds is prepare is alive. When an
active Prepare or PBEStarter has been detected, it will continue to poll the
situation until there is no Prepare and no PBEStarter alive. When this is the
case, the plug-in will close all prepare documents that are still open in
Acrobat. After closing these documents, it will check if there are any other
documents open. If no other documents are open Acrobat will close it self,
otherwise it will make it self and the documents in Acrobat visible.
Known problem: sometimes a assert appears that a iterator is not dereference-able.

Synopsis
ODW4: PDF file can not be opened by PrismaPrepare
ODW4: List of outputdevices for unused cyclic media incorrect.
PRC: Purging of unused cyclic media to the Upper Output Bin of the
VP6250 R1.3 does not work because PrismaPrepare uses the PostScript
syntax "Tray" for addressing the upper tray. However, at this moment the
VP6250 only recognises "Upper bin".
Sometimes Acrobat keeps running after closing PRISMAprepare. When
this is the case, I cannot LogOff when I am a Normal User on a Windows
2003 Server Operating System. The user has no idea why.

The converter for ODW3 document no longer accepts document with
landscape tabs if bindingedge is left or portrait tabs when bindingedge is top.
If such a document is opened in Prepare, a messagebox appears and
Prepare failed to convert the document although the user can still open the
document without pageprogram.
4.3
Tumble
The conversion of the combination tumble and page orientation to a
document binding edge was done in a wrong manner.
Now, the first sheet in the document which has content on the backside
defines the bindingedge of the complete document according to the following

Staples
To determine which postscript to insert (portrait or landscape staple) for a
single staple the document sheetsize of the page is used.
Previously when one staple was selected in the PRC the orientation of the
mediabox was used to determine the staple orientation.
For finishing groups with a single which were created in Prepare the
docsheetsize orientation was already used.
4.4.2
Imposition
There are no red lines shown in imposition preview if a printmark exeeds the
page boundary.
The printmarks are also not included when positioning the image. For
example: when positioning the content to left, the pagebox, or if bleed is on
the bleedbox, are positioned to the left edge of the paper (the printmarks are
outside the printable area).

open it in Prepare, the document is corrupt because the existing page
program does not correspond with the pages in the document. This was
not checked and caused an exception.
T: Open an ODW4 PP in Acrobat, add a page and save it. Open the saved
document in Prepare. A messagebox should popup 'Document has a
corrupt page program. Open document without page program?' Choose
yes. The document should be opened as a clean document.

The DM can read Clean, 3.6 and 4.0.2.x files. Older files are implicit
converted to newer files. If an error occurs then the operator gests a chance
to open the file without the page programming information. The document is
then opened like a clean document.
See [UDD_DM] and [DM] for more details on conversions.

In this version it is possible to show the driver dialog of a printer from the
PRC. This option is normally of, but can per printer model activated in the
printerconfiguration.xml file. This option should only be used by experienced
users, because it can mess up the whole print output.
It has been added to allow additional finishing setting in the driver and to
specify the halftoning.

NOTE: This flag must be specified in the prepare.exe.config file AND in the
ocenewtonoperatorconsole.exe.config. The latter file is used when a file is
printed directly form the OC.

Tumble behavior
Due to different concepts in ODW3 and Prepare it is not possible to convert
all 3.6 problem free to Prepare files.
For example, if we have a document that starts with several A4 Portrait
pages and then some A3 landscape pages, and we use mode 0 (this is the
specified behavior), the content on the landscape pages would be rotated
180 degrees according to the specs (when no tumble flags are present). The
spec is based on a mono size document, and it does not take the case of A4
portrait and A3 landscape into account.
The GPPCOtoICA converter determines the binding edge of the document
according to the orientation of the first content page in the document which
has content on the rear side. To overrule this behavior mode 1 can be used.
For example in the case described above mode1 will get the same output
as when printing the document in ODW3 (the A3 landscape pages will not be
rotated because the complete document is left binding). This flag is
introduced to support customers with an archive of 3.6 documents that
contains A4 portrait and A3 landscape pages (the technical manual with
folding sheets).
<!-- GPPCO Bindingedge conversion settings
Mode 0: Determine according orientation and tumble flag

<add key="ODW3BindingEdgeConversion" value="0" />
<add key="ODW3IgnoreTumble" value="false" />
During the conversion of a 3.6 document each rear side of page with another
binding edge as the first one can be rotated based on the 3.6 tumble flag.
When the option ODWIgnoreTumble is set to true this flag is ignored, so

when determining the binding edge of the complete document, the rear
sides on a page with a different binding edge as the first one will not be
rotated, even if a tumble flag is placed on that page.
NOTE: This flag must be specified in the prepare.exe.config file AND in the
ocenewtonoperatorconsole.exe.config. The latter file is used when a file is
printed directly form the OC.

Changes in PBE
Show printer driver dialog
When setting the option <DriverDialog enabled=false> in the printer
configuration to true, an extra icon will be show next to the printer selection
combo in the PRC. This flag can be added per printer model.
By clicking this icon, the printer driver for the selected printer pops up and
the user can do some settings in the driver before printing the document.
If there are any driver settings done by using the MMC for the selected
printer, these settings are applied before the printer dialog pops up.
This flag makes no sense for P3E supported printers, because a) the
settings are not sent to the P3E module and b) The dialog can be shown
from the P3E module.
Only for red-book printing and Up4E printers this settings is useful. But
wrong settings in the driver dialog can ruin the output. Options like
same up, booklet, driver page programming, number of copies are potential
dangerous. Settings like rasterization and finishing normally save.

There are some relations between the feels. Acrobat will not be able to save
a document (an internal application error will occur or acrobat will crash). The
flags do not work one-on-one. You should read the flags as a nice question
towards Acrobat to do it. If Acrobat actualy does it, depends also in it own
bookkeeping/mood.
CollectGarbage: Instruct acrobat to search for objects that are no longer
used and removes them from the PDF. Objects can be deleted pages, undo
objects and things like that. Collect Garbage only works when a full save is
executed. However this does not mean that Full Save must be switch on.
Acrobat sometimes decides to do a full save even when you do not ask for it.
It is mutual exclusive with ForceIncremental.
Compress: Compresses the content of the streams. This will result in a
smaller PDF file, but a also in longer processing time. The effect of this is
limited when a incremental save is executed.
FullSave: Saves all objects that are currently in the PDF (also the unused
ones), but optimized the object tables, so that opening the document can
become faster. A save-as is always a full save. It is mutual exclusive with
ForceIncremental.
ForceIncremental: Only add the changes to the PDF file. The PDF file can
grow significantly in size by this open. ForceIcremental can crash the saveas functionality, but can increase the save performance. The CollectGarbage
flag makes smaller PDF, but can ruin the save performance.
By default the garbage collect flag is off the gain performance. But when the
SCU functionality is used, the PDF file can explode in size. Therefore the
save operation after a SCU workflow will contain the garbage collect flag if
the CollectGarbageAfterSCU is on (default).

ngs (0, 1 or 2)
HKLM\Software\Oce\PRISMAprepare\AcrobatPlugin\DeleteRegistryInterval
(0 to 99999)
For DeleteRegistryPrintSettings 0 means that the settings from Adobe are
not removed. 1 means that only the collate flag
(HKLM\oftware\\Adobe\\Adobe Acrobat\\8.0\AVGeneral\bPrintCollate) will be
removed (), and 2 means that the whole subkey
(HKLM\oftware\\Adobe\\Adobe Acrobat\\8.0\AVGeneral) is removed
The interval key specifies the time between cleanup actions in milliseconds.
The default is 5000.
The side effect from this solution is that the preprintsettings; of Acrobat (also
in standalone mode) do not work anymore.
