• You can have only one version plan per LPV job, and only one job can be associated with a version plan. (When using template jobs, a copy of the version plan is created.)
• Every version plan must have at least one base layer; however, the base layer for a versioned page can be empty, which means that each version of that page is unique.
• If you are using non-layered input files, you must know what colors are in each refined page, the content that the color represents, and the final color (plate) to which the content must be mapped.

Note: If some colors in a refined page are not assigned to a layer in the version plan, these unassigned colors will be placed on an error layer in Acrobat for the versioned page after it has been generated.

If you are using layered input files, colors are automatically determined and populated in the version plan. Ensure that the colors in the refined files are the correct separation colors to be used.

Version name best practices

The length of each version name is limited to 64 characters. However, we strongly recommend that the length of version names be minimized, especially if you are using Apple Filing Protocol (AFP).

Version name best practices for AFP

If you are using AFP, and you plan to output proofs to file, the version name is only one of several components that make up the output file name. This means that the output file name can very easily exceed 31 characters. We recommend that version names be as short as possible, especially if you have many versions in your job. .
