Policies

Define your policies for handling different types of errors that might occur during production.

Note: The available options vary, depending on the chosen print format.

Option	Description
When fonts are missing When a record has missing Assets When a record has a missing style When a record has text overflow	A Policy specifies how to handle missing items or inconsistencies. For cases of Missing assets, Missing Fonts, Missing Styles or Text Overflow, use the drop-down list to indicate how to handle the error. Choose one of the following options: Ignore: to process this record in spite of the error. The output file will include this erroneous customer information. Fail job: to stop processing this job altogether for all. No output file will be generated. Skip Record (missing assets and styles only): to move on to process the next record. The output file will not include a document instance for this record.
When a file size is 2GB or more	uProduce allows you to produce large files (2GB or more) in all print output formats except for VDX. Since some RIPs might have problems processing files larger than 2GBs, this production policy allows you to decide whether or not to fail such files. Chose whether to Fail job (the default option) or Ignore.
When transparency (X-DOT) is required	Choose whether and how to implement X-DOT in your document. Available options are: Use X-DOT – use the X-DOT technology. Ignore X-DOT as needed – do not apply X - DOT in this production run in the following cases: The resulting mega object is reusable where at least one of the atomic objects was fixed. The resulting mega object is unique where at least one of the atomic objects is reusable or was fixed. The resulting mega object is reusable where at least one of the atomic objects is reusable. Ignoring X-DOT results in: Special effects will not be visible. All shadows, feathering and opacity effects will be removed. For transparent images, their transparent parts will appear white (paper color). Ignore X-DOT – no special effects will appear in the print output file of this production run. Note that this is equivalent to using the InDesign feature “Ignore Flattening” in all of the document’s spreads. Fail job – fail the current production run in each of the cases that affect the Ignore X-DOT as needed option. More on X-DOT technology can be found in the uCreate Print help.

When fonts are missing

When a record has missing Assets

When a record has a missing style

When a record has text overflow

A Policy specifies how to handle missing items or inconsistencies.

For cases of Missing assets, Missing Fonts, Missing Styles or Text Overflow, use the drop-down list to indicate how to handle the error. Choose one of the following options:

Ignore: to process this record in spite of the error. The output file will include this erroneous customer information.
Fail job: to stop processing this job altogether for all. No output file will be generated.

Skip Record (missing assets and styles only): to move on to process the next record. The output file will not include a document instance for this record.

When a file size is 2GB or more

uProduce allows you to produce large files (2GB or more) in all print output formats except for VDX.

Since some RIPs might have problems processing files larger than 2GBs, this production policy allows you to decide whether or not to fail such files.

Chose whether to Fail job (the default option) or Ignore.

When transparency
(X-DOT) is required

Choose whether and how to implement X-DOT in your document. Available options are:

Use X-DOT – use the X-DOT technology.
Ignore X-DOT as needed – do not apply X - DOT in this production run in the following cases:
- The resulting mega object is reusable where at least one of the atomic objects was fixed.
- The resulting mega object is unique where at least one of the atomic objects is reusable or was fixed.
- The resulting mega object is reusable where at least one of the atomic objects is reusable.
- Ignoring X-DOT results in:
- Special effects will not be visible. All shadows, feathering and opacity effects will be removed.
- For transparent images, their transparent parts will appear white (paper color).
Ignore X-DOT – no special effects will appear in the print output file of this production run.

Note that this is equivalent to using the InDesign feature “Ignore Flattening” in all of the document’s spreads.
Fail job – fail the current production run in each of the cases that affect the Ignore X-DOT as needed option.

More on X-DOT technology can be found in the uCreate Print help.
