Alternative

Digital printing is a fast-evolving field, and the industry as whole is moving towards the PDF/VT file standard as a replacement for the older PPML standard. Esko is supporting this trend.

Esko recommends you to migrate to the Dynamic VDP workflow.

The Dynamic VDP workflow is based on PDF/VT and includes a DeskPack plug-in for authoring as well as an Automation Engine ticket for expansion.
