VPS Caching

PlanetPress Suite gives you the ability to send documents in the VPS format that is compatible with CREO VPS RIPs on certain types of printers.

In VPS documents, overlay (fixed size) and virtual (variable size) pages defined as cacheable are placed in memory (cached) at the beginning of the job, and are referred to throughout the document. This means those cached elements are never repeated in the document and the job can be much smaller than a regular, non-cached job.

To create a VPS document:

  1. In PlanetPress Design, create a new document.
  2. Double-click on the Document node to display the Document properties dialog box.
  3. In the Document properties dialog box, click Compilation options and in the Caching method box, select VPS.
  4. Click OK to exit the Document properties dialog box.
  5. Add a page to the document. See the section “Add a Document Page” in the chapter “Setting Up Pages.”
  6. In the Structure area or in the Page area, select the page and double-click on it.
  7. In the Page properties dialog box, click Basic attributes.
  8. Select Cachable and set Page type to Overlay or Virtual.
  9. Click OK to exit the Page properties dialog box.
  10. Add the content to the cacheable page.
  11. Repeat step 5 through step 10 for each of the cacheable pages you want to add to the document.
  12. Create the normal pages of the document, either calling a cacheable overlay page or using n-up objects as necessary to reference the content of the virtual pages. If you include an N-Up object on a page, make sure that it appears as the first object on the page in the Structure area.
  13. Save the document.

The document is now ready for the printer.
