Page Export
IMPORTANT: Editorial must check in all InCopy files, all ads must be placed on the pages and checked against the manifest.
EXPORT PAGES
Open the Scripts palette from: Window > Utilities > Scripts
Make sure the correct layers you want to export are on/off
In the “User” folder, Double-click on Page Exporter
The “Base Name” must have the letter (A, B, C, etc) removed
Check remaining settings, page range, etc. and click OK
Use the “TOWER-SWOP2(new)” PDF preset
Save to the “PDFs” folder within your issue folder
If the pages are switch zones, you must amend the base name to include which one by adding information before the hashtag “-ZONE-SWITCH” (i.e. OT-MARAPR2020-OTGV-SWITCH#)
The exported PDFs will have their respective page number added to the file name after the hashtag.
Pages can be sequenced individually or as running groups. (23,65,70-84)
Front Cover & Spine
These files will be exported using the same script as the other pages, but will be sent directly to the press via FTP.
The Gainesville edition has two versions that need to be exported – one with a mail label and one without. Just make sure the correct layer(s) are on/off before exporting.
UPLOAD TO FTP
Open Transmit
Double-click the Favorite for NPC Printing
Drag and drop the files you want to upload
Upload Files to Printer
Before uploading PDF files, open them all and visually inspect them for any errors pre-flight may have missed. (e.g. missing folios, full bleed ads not set properly, etc.)

More instructions on this later. I can’t screenshot anything right now because there’s no active job in the queue.
