1.1. New Features in $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW application
Following new features are available in version 2.0.0 of $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW application:
Impose Editor – Existing features were enhanced, and new functionalities were introduced:
- General New Features and Improvements – Two improvements were implemented Impose Editor behavior. First, Print Items rotation in conjunction with Using Pre-Angulation was revised [PPDWF-13678]. Second, compliance with Minimum Sheet Height for Roll Substrate was improved [PPDWF-13633].
- Dynamically Derive Color Values for Captions – Possibity to dynamically derive the color value for the background color of a text caption from a source, i.e, a user-defined field. Enter the color definition as a value in user-defined field. Color definitions can be created in CMYK, RGB, Lab, registration mark color, named CSS colors, and HEX values, as well as set to no color value [PPDWF-13665], [PPDWF-13752], [PPDWF-13847], [PPDWF-13963], [PPDWF-13964].
- Color Control Stripes – Advanced Text Options – Advanced text options were introduced for Color Control Stripes. These include Display Tint Values, Offset – Tint Values, Display Color Names, and Offset – Color Names [PPDWF-13607], [PPDWF-13562].
- "Fotoba" Cutter – Background Color – Option to define a background color for Fotoba marks [PPDWF-13400].
- Impose Mode »Bound Product« – Restrictions – Bound Product impose mode allow to use only one Print Item. Unused functions have been removed from the Print Items tab [PPDWF-11841].
Check-in Preflight and Fixup Templates – Following new features were implemented for Check-in Preflight and Fixup Templates:
- Prepare Technical Spot Colors – Handling of Technical Spot Colors with a tint value of 0 %, set to Knockout (White Objects) – configure for Technical Spot Colors with a tint value of 0%, whether they should be processed as “White” and set to Knockout or as overprinting and should not be visible in the printed result. When the Technical Color is defined as a fill, an error message is displayed by default [PPDWF-13583].
- New Checks – new checks are available in the Check-in Preflight and Fixup Templates, primarily related to the normalization of print data in accordance with the ISO standard for processing steps.
- A Print Object overlaps a Technical Color – This detects whether Technical Colors are overlaid by a Print Object. According to the ISO standard, Technical Colors always have to be placed at a top layer and set to overprinting in a print file. This allow detection of Dielines located in the background. When a match is found, the warning “A Print Object overlaps a Technical Color” is displayed [PPDWF-12717].
- Technical Colors in a Multicolor DeviceN Definition – This feature detects whether technical colors are present within a multicolor DeviceN definition. According to the ISO standard, technical colors should always be placed at the top of a print file and set as overprinting. Dielines located within a multicolor DeviceN definition must be extracted and brought to foreground as a separate object. When a match is found, the error message “Some technical spot colors are used as part of a multicolor DeviceN definition” is displayed [PPDWF-11385].
- Dieline created as “rect” or “circle” – This checks whether dielines are created as geometric rectangles (“rect”) or circles (“circle”). Dielines must consist of individual, connected path segments so that they can be processed correctly by Cutter Devices. If a match is found, an error message “A dieline is defined as a rectangle instead of paths” is displayed [PPDWF-13008].
- MediaBox of the Page is not at the Origin (0/0) – This checks whether MediaBox is located at the origin of a PDF coordinate system. While this is a common practice in PDF files, it is often unsuitable for $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW application. A corresponding error message is displayed [PPDWF-13124], [PPDWF-13005].
- Page contains a Rotation Factor – This checks whether a rotation factor is present in the print file. Generally, this situation does not pose a critical problem in a printing industry. However, for consistent and reliable processing of print data in $PRODUCT_NAME_WORKFLOW application, normalization — that is, the application — of the rotation factor is required. Corresponding error message is displayed [PPDWF-13124], [PPDWF-13005].
- Multipage Print Items have Differing Page Sizes or Orientations – This detects whether a print file contains pages that differ in size and orientation. The use of different page sizes and orientations in print files is intended only in rare, exceptional cases. Corresponding warning message is displayed [PPDWF-13603], [PPDWF-13005].
- General Check-in Improvements – Switch to QuickCheck – Check-in process was switched from the previous full PDF check to a QuickCheck wherever possible. This results in significant speed improvements, especially for multipage print data [PPDWF-13754].
Color Management – New feature based on the GMG OpenColor Engine — Setting up and Managing Profiling Projects — was added to the Color menu. Final implementation is available to all new customers as well as customers who want to switch to GMG. Please note that depending on whether you solely possess a GMG license or also a ColorLogic license, certain menu items will be hidden in user interface. These include, for example, Color Books, Color Correction Based on Image, Color Management Settings - ColorLogic, Color Setup, and Profiling Templates. Following additional new features are available compared to version 1.22.2:
- Assigning Additional Substrates – Starting with version 2.0 , it is possible to assign additional Substrates or all Substrates to a Profiling Project [PPDWF-13928], [PPDWF-13935].
- Profiling Project – Status – Each Profiling Project displays one of the following three statuses: Created (no sub-steps executed), In Progress (not all steps completed), or Ready for Production (all steps completed, Color Policy generated) [PPDWF-13737].
- Resetting Substeps of a Profiling Project Step or an Entire Step – Each step in a profiling project can be reset either completely or back to a specific substep without affecting the entire profiling project [PPDWF-13815], [PPDWF-13817].
- Deleting a Profiling Project – It is no longer possible to delete a Profiling Project when Color Policies are being used at the same time in a Production Job [PPDWF-13435].
- Gamut Viewer – Gamut Viewer provides an ability to display the Color Space of a Profiling Project based on GMG implementation. Existing Gamut Viewer for ColorLogic profiles can still be used as usual [PPDWF-13567].
- Creating a Print Chart – Total Area Coverage Limit – Custom Print Charts for Total Area Coverage Limit (TAC) can be created with a freely defined maximum value, which helps prevent contamination of the printing system [PPDWF-13504], [PPDWF-13637], [PPDWF-13742].
- Minor Changes to Creating and Measuring Measurement Template Charts – Two changes were implemented: measuring a Measurement Template Chart must now start on page 1 and continue in ascending order; once all pages are fully measured, page can be deleted and re-measured [PPDWF-13493], [PPDWF-13491], [PPDWF-13455], [PPDWF-13054]. Furthermore, an option to enter a remark when creating a measurement template chart was removed [PPDWF-13953].
- Visualizations for Measurements — Two new Visualization Types — Color axis for Linearization and Characterization steps, as well as spider view in characterization step — are available for evaluating measurements and the Color Space. Starting point of the Y-axis (luminance axis) is always set to 0 [PPDWF-13621].
- Color Correction in the Production Job – Color correction calculations are now based on GMG implementation [PPDWF-13405].
- Designation for GMG Color Policies –GMG and ColorLogic Save Ink Profiles are clearly distinguished in the Output Configuration drop-down list [PPDWF-13457].
- Verification – Verification can be performed using a GMG Color Policy as well as GMG ink savings [PPDWF-13914].
- Grid Charts – Grid Charts can be generated based on a GMG Color Policy [PPDWF-13408], [PPDWF-13361].
- Save Ink Profiles – Pre-calculated Save Ink Profiles “Low,” “Medium,” and “Extreme” are available based on GMG implementation [PPDWF-13473], [PPDWF-13420].
- Handling Spot Colors – All necessary functions are provided to enable the calculation of DeviceN values for spot colors in connection with the GMG implementation. This affects the following areas:
- Optimized Calculation Times – Calculation of DeviceN values for spot colors has been optimized in two ways: through value caching and bulk calculation [PPDWF-13571], [PPDWF-13854], [PPDWF-13697].
- Simulation Values for ∆E Display– Calculation of simulation values for ΔE display has been implemented for all Color Policies created with GMG [PPDWF-13367].
- Harlequin Host Renderer (HHR) – Switch to DeviceN Values – Separation values passed to the HHR are fully converted to pure DeviceN values, rather than being passed via spot color profiles as it was performed previously. This applies to both GMG and ColorLogic Color Policies [PPDWF-13410], [PPDWF-6657], [PPDWF-13273].
- Fixed Color Values – Calculation of fixed color values based on predefined values for individual channels has been made available for GMG Color Policies [PPDWF-13877].
- Spot Color Report – Spot Color Report now uses the GMG implementation to calculate color values. Additionally, Profiling Project name is displayed in the report [PPDWF-14085].
- Axis Labels in the "Linearization" Step – Axis labels have been added for displaying curves in Linearization step [PPDWF-13046].
- Spot Color Definition – Additional Information – Additional options required for GMG spot color calculations are correctly provided in the corresponding dialog for creating a Spot Color Definition [PPDWF-14051].
- Handling RGB Colors – RGB DeviceLink Profile is created based on the RGB intermediate color space selected for the respective Profiling Project. This allows all RGB data to be converted directly to the Output Color Space or an intermediate color space using advanced parameters [PPDWF-13806].
- Preview Images – Printer Software – Calculation for compensation curves is provided in the printer software. This preview provides color previews for all Color Policies created with GMG. The preview's image quality was thereby improved, as color transitions can now be factored into the calculation.
- "Linearization" Step – Ink Cut – In the Linearization environment values for the ink cut are also saved in the database, ensuring they can be correctly retrieved when editing this step later [PPDWF-13487].
- Characterization Step – Changes – The following changes have been made to Characterization environment:
- Name of variation must be unique within the project [PPDWF-14238].
- Black is generally no longer used to calculate primary colors of Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow [PPDWF-14334].
- User-friendly implementation has been created to shift white balance toward the white point of a reference color space [PPDWF-13560].
- G7 Linearization Step – Additional step for generating a G7 linearization can be added to the Profiling Project [PPDWF-13348]. G7 linearization is applied only to CMYK process colors [PPDWF-13623].
- Exporting / Importing Profiling Projects – Entire Profiling Project can be exported and then imported into another instance [PPDWF-13863], [PPDWF-14015], [PPDWF-14016].
- Simplified User Interface – User interface has been simplified in this version. Depending on whether the user has GMG or ColorProfile permissions, various menu items (Color Books, Color Correction Image-Based, Color Settings, Color Setup, and Color Setup Templates) are hidden [PPDWF-13498]. Additionally, after completing a sub-step, it is possible to directly proceed to the next step [PPDWF-13453].
- System Settings – Under Administration Settings Color Management General, the ColorLogic-specific parameters – Color Management Settings – ColorLogic – have been moved to a separate section [PPDWF-13616].
- Synchronizing Process Colors with "Color Service" – In Administration Inks Ink Setup menu, user can manually synchronize a created process color with Color Service to make selected Process Colors –e.g., White –available to the Color Service [PPDWF-13654].
Fixups and Fixup Chains – Following changes were made to existing Fixups:
- Fixup "Rename, Convert, or Remove Spot Colors" – Target Spot Color Name – Drop-down menu for the target spot color name displays only system-wide spot color names and names from spot color libraries when trying to rename a target spot color. Color names that are used exclusively by other Print Items are no longer displayed [PPDWF-12980].
- Fixups – Removal of Processing Steps – Due to the revised handling of spot colors and Processing Steps, input fields for the Processing Steps Group and the Processing Steps Type have been removed from a total of 20 fixups in this version, as these parameters are no longer required for these fixups [PPDWF-11569].
Automation – The following new features related to automation were implemented:
- Article Detail View – Creating an Automation Job – Possibility to create an automation directly in the Article's detail view [PPDWF-13673], [PPDWF-13826].

- Deleting Production Configurations – Quick Access – Trash bin icon is now displayed in the footer of each Production Configuration in Production Configurations list [PPDWF-13926].
- Bundle View – Replacing a Print Item – In bundle view – for example, in Batch Processing History tab – it is now possible to replace Print Item for each Automation Job within a bundle [PPDWF-11937], [PPDWF-13564].
- Disabling the "Export Imposition Report" Operation for "Bound Product" – It is no longer possible to generate an imposition report for the Bound Products impose mode in Production Configurations [PPDWF-13563].
- Batch Processing – Validation When Saving – When editing a Production Configuration containing "Create Production Job" operation, a full validation for invalid output configurations is performed upon saving [PPDWF-13886].
- Hotfolder Job Ticket for Variants of a Production Configuration – Hotfolder JSON structure has been extended to allow variants of production configurations to be represented within the configuration [PPDWF-13719].
- Variations of a Production Configuration – Copying the GUID – In detail view of a Production Configuration, it is now possible to copy the GUID of a variation to the clipboard by using a dedicated button. This feature is useful for use in XML/JSON Hotfolder files [PPDWF-13720].
- Variants of a Production Configuration – Improved Visibility – Feature for the creation and also for the availability of Variations is now displayed directly in the footer of a Production Configuration. An icon allows user to create a variation, the number indicates the amount of existing variations, and another icon opens the detail view [PPDWF-13426].
API – The following new features were introduced in the API v1/v2 :
- Automation Jobs with existing Print Items – Possibility to create Automation Jobs for an already existing Print Item in the system by passing the Print Item's ID. Print Item is subsequently duplicated and further processed [PPDWF-13833].
- Enfocus Switch Enhancements – Possibility to retrieve all Check-in Templates via the Switch App API [PPDWF-13878]. Additionally, is possible to retrieve and use Variants of Production Configurations [PPDWF-13837] and to specify Check-in mode. For Check-in mode "Preflight and fix the first page only" or "Preflight only (no correction)" when uploading Articles [PPDWF-14031].
User Interface – Following features have been enhanced or added to the new user interface:
- Output Configuration – Color Management Information – Output Configuration dialog for Production Job now displays information about color management settings being used [PPDWF-13735], [PPDWF-13691].
- Hotfolder Migration Hint – When Hotfolders from the old user interface still exist, yellow button labeled "Migrate existing Hotfolder" appears in user interface header. At the same time, more prominent hint stating Open in New User interface is displayed in the old user interface to speed up the migration [PPDWF-14481].
- Restructuring – "Administration" Menu Item – Administration menu item has been converted from flat to grouped list [PPDWF-13713].
- Production Scheduler – Limitation on Filter Display – When more than 5 values are selected for a filter in Production Scheduler, list display is limited to maintain clarity [PPDWF-13376].
- Standardized Color Values for Color Spaces – Display of color values for all Color Spaces has been standardized system-wide. Following areas are affected: Two decimal places for CMYK and Grayscale; RGB without decimal places; Lab with two decimal places; DeviceN with two decimal places; tint values for spot colors without decimal places [PPDWF-12667].
- Profiling Projects – Persistent Expert Mode and Standard Mode – Once switching to Expert Mode, this mode remains active system-wide. Same applies to the default mode [PPDWF-14193].
- Selected Records Remain Selected – When multiple records are selected in a list, and an operation is subsequently performed on them, the records remain selected after the process is completed [PPDWF-13938].
- Changing the Substrate Type – Value is Retained – When switching between the substrate types Roll and Sheet, values entered for Height or Roll Length is retained [PPDWF-13634].
1.2. Improvements
Following improvements to existing features were implemented:
- Color Correction in Production Jobs – Expanded Capabilities – Capabilities for Color Correction in production jobs have been significantly expanded. Following new options are available: Midtones – Use a slider to shift 50% hue for each CMYK channel. Contrast/Brightness – Use sliders to adjust brightness and contrast for all color channels by the same amount. Gradation Curve – For each color channel, gradation curve can be freely edited by adding, moving, and deleting curve points [PPDWF-13440].
- Curve Charts – Unified Editor – Curve editor has been standardized system-wide. An editor displays the curve on the left side with input (X-axis) and output (Y-axis). When curve point is selected, an exact input and output values are displayed as percentages in two input fields. Unified curve editor is available in the following areas: Color Correction in the Production Job, Fixup CMYK Color Correction, Fixup Change Tint Value for Spot Color, and for curves in Pre-linearization [PPDWF-13454].
- Handling Spot Colors – Simplified Definitions – Parameters for creating spot colors have been simplified depending on the color type. For Non Printing Spot Colors, only RGB, CMYK, or Lab color mode can be selected [PPDWF-13481]. For Technical Spot Colors, RGB, CMYK, or Lab color mode can be selected – Processing Steps Group and Processing Steps Type are required [PPDWF-13506]. For Hybrid Colors, an option to assign the Processing Steps Group and Type has been removed [PPDWF-13368].
- Enfocus Switch App – Enhanced Features – Possibility to query and apply Variants of Production Configurations in Enfocus Switch app [PPDWF-13718], [PPDWF-13717]. Additionally, check-in mode, as specified in Enfocus Switch App can be provided during upload [PPDWF-14030], [PPDWF-14031].
- Device Connector – Improvements – Improvements for connecting printing systems via the Device Connector have been also implemented. It is now possible to pass the drop size to printing systems that require this value [PPDWF-14287]. In addition, print jobs are automatically deleted as soon as they have been accepted by the Device Connector and have been printed [PPDWF-13851], [PPDWF-13888]. Furthermore, the media width is now passed along with the job ticket. From this version on, the information about the media's width is transmitted from the Substrate Definition to the Device Connector via the job ticket [PPDWF-13722]. As a further change, job ticket type has been renamed from ERGOSOFT to Device Connector [PPDWF-14154].
- XML Hotfolder – User-Defined Fields – XML specification for XML Hotfolders has been expanded so User-defined Fields can be passed in the XML structure. This allows user-defined information about Print Items to be added via an XML Hotfolder [PPDWF-12869].
- Small Improvements – The following minor improvements have been implemented:
- Grid Chart – Placeholder for Color Names – Placeholder for color name is provided for creating names for Grid Chart templates [PPDWF-13114].
- Login Dialog – Display of License Errors – Login dialog displays an error message when license contains an error [PPDWF-14183].
- Print Item Editor – Use Output Intent for Preview – When rendering high-resolution preview in Print Item Editor, an output intent specified in PDF/X file is now taken into account to ensure color-accurate rendering [PPDWF-12581], [PPDWF-12598].
- Uploading Large Files – Sporadic Error – Calculating the preview in Quick Print and Batch Processing for very large files caused MAKO to crash. As a solution, cache value has been increased to 1 GB, and a dedicated application parameter was implemented to prevent preview generation during upload [PPDWF-13573]
- Routines – Exclude Deactivated Operations – When executing routines via Execute Now under Administration > Routines, displayed number of affected records for deactivated Operations is not calculated and is marked as Deactivated in the dialog [PPDWF-13727].
- Deleting Referenced Print Items – Only when referenced Print Items are selected in Articles or Print Items list, Delete button in the dialog is disabled [PPDWF-13641].
- Article and Print Item List – Sorting by Substrate – Added option to sort the list of Print Items and Articles by Substrate Name [PPDWF-13553].
- Deleting the Default Color Policy – Deleting a Color Policy that is set as a system-wide default Color Policy is now prevented [PPDWF-13387], [PPDWF-13365].
- Printers – Deleting a Print Head – Deleting a print head is only possible when no Color Configuration has been set up for the printer that requires this print head. Corresponding error message is displayed [PPDWF-13423].

- Inks – Updated List – List of current ink information was updated in the master data based on versions 04/2026 and 05/2026 [PPDWF-13912], [PPDWF-13568].
2. Fixed Bugs
The following bugs have been fixed in this release:
2.1. Main Application
Spot Color Report – Missing Values – Values for simulated color and ΔE values, as well as DeviceN color values, were no longer displayed in the Spot Color Report. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-14012].
Spot Color Definition for Multiple Spot Colors – Settings made simultaneously for multiple spot colors in Add Spot Color Definition dialog were only applied to the last Print Item. This behavior has been corrected. Selected changes to multiple spot colors are now saved and applied correctly [PPDWF-14192].
Approval Project – Resetting the Email Address – After sending the email containing the link to the Approval Project, the delivery address was reset to an email address of the selected customer when a different delivery address had been entered previously. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13880].
Approval Project – Dashboard Filter – Filter for a group of Approval Projects has been removed from the dashboard filter selection because the feature for creating approval project groups has not yet been implemented. This bug has been fixed [PPDWF-13645].
List of Articles – Deleting 100 Articles Simultaneously – Database access errors occurred when deleting 100 articles via the list of Articles. This bug has been fixed [PPDWF-13873].
Quick Print / Batch Processing – Image Dimensions – When uploading images, the width and height were read incorrectly. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13253], [PPDWF-14001].
Uploading Articles – Assignment to Collection – After uploading an Article, the list of Articles incorrectly displayed that an Article was assigned to the Collection. This display error has been resolved [PPDWF-13865].
Creating an Article Without File – Using Add Article dialog in list of Articles, it was possible to save an Article without uploading a print file. This behavior has been prevented in the user interface [PPDWF-13847].
Check-in Preflight and Fixup Templates – Multiple “Font Not Embedded” Hits – For the “Font Not Embedded” validation, multiple hits were displayed in the error overview. This behavior has been fixed, and errors have been consolidated [PPDWF-13807].
Fixups – Uploading .kfpx and .xml Files – When uploading a custom fixup using a .kfpx and .xml file, an error was displayed even though all upload requirements were met. This error has been fixed [PPDWF-13581], [PPDWF-13508].
Print Item Editor – Page Boxes with Rotation Factor – Page boxes of a Print Item were displayed incorrectly in the Print Item Editor when Print Item was uploaded using Preflight only (no correction) check-in method and had a rotation factor. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13552].
Print Item Editor – Distorted Preview with High-Resolution Display and Rotation Factor – For Print Items with a rotation factor, the preview was distorted when high-resolution display was enabled. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13551].
Assignment of User Roles – When assigning a user role while simultaneously deactivating the previous role, the old role continued to be displayed after saving. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13501].
Ink Families – Required Fields – Ink families could be created without filling in all required fields. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13166].
Routines – Deleting Print Items and Articles from the Old User Interface – Print Items and Articles that were moved to the trash bin in the old user interface were not captured by the deletion routine in the new user interface. Starting with this version, migration ensures that these entries are also deleted correctly [PPDWF-13430].
Fixup “Add Overlay” – The Fixup “Add Overlay” did not work within a Fixup Chain when referencing a Print Item. This bug has been fixed [PPDWF-14432].
Die Cut Library – Filtering by One-Up – After deleting an N-Up, it was no longer possible to filter by One-Up. This bug has been fixed [PPDWF-13921].
Die Cut – Deleting an N-Up – After deleting previously exported N-Up, it could no longer be imported because the GUID was still in use. This bug has been fixed. It is now possible to completely delete N-Ups again [PPDWF-13917].
2.2. VDP Editor
Empty Separations – For VDP jobs with a large number of pages, empty separations were generated and rendered for each channel (CMYK), when the variable content used only some of the channels (e.g., only black). This resulted in significantly longer rendering times for very large jobs (200,000+ pages). In certain ZuniComm configurations, separation was created for each VDP page in a VDP Job, even though those pages contained no content. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-11212].
In certain ZuniComm configurations, separation was created for each VDP page in a VDP Job, even though those pages contained no content. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-11212].
Content Not Fully Rendered – In some situations, variable content could be partially truncated or not fully rendered. This issue arose as a side effect of an optimization for very large VDP jobs and has been fixed [PPDWF-14486].
Default values for ZIP codes –Incorrect default values for ZIP codes were displayed in the VDP Editor. This behavior has been corrected, and incorrect values have been replaced with the correct ones [PPDWF-13622].
Vertical Scaling of Text – When rendering vertically scaled text, the position of the baseline was altered. This issue was resolved with the update to pdfChip 2.7.101 [PPDWF-4421].
2.3. Impose Editor
Captions – Code 39 Barcode with Safety Margin – It was not possible to create a Code 39 barcode in the captions when the safety margin was also specified in mm. This issue was resolved with the update to pdfChip 2.7.101 [PPDWF-12561].
Vision Hybrid Mark – Color Order – The color order of the circular mark according to CMYK+W varied from Order to Order, even when the spot colors remained the same. Effective immediately, the additional colors are generated consistently in ascending alphabetical order, even for recurring orders [PPDWF-14080].
High-Resolution Preview – Starting with version 1.22.0, high-resolution images were always loaded for display in the Impose Editor, which drastically increased loading times. Starting with this version, a lower-resolution preview is used by default again. The option to switch to the high-resolution view remains available [PPDWF-13569].
Bound Products –Preflight and fix the first page only – Print Items that were uploaded using Preflight and fix the first page only option in Upload and Normalization Settings and were used for a Bound Product generated an error message that prevented the creation of an Imposition. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-12159].
Saving the Output Template – Output template was not saved correctly when a new Production Job was created via Save As. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13698].
Send to Printer – Incorrect Error Messages After Imposition – When creating and saving an imposition, incorrect messages appeared in Send to Printer dialog. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-14068].
2.4. Automation
Operation "Export Print Items" – Fixup "Add Caption" – Applying "Add Caption" Fixup in "Export Print Items" Operation caused PageBoxes of the Print Items to shift. This bug has been fixed [PPDWF-13655].
Production Scheduler – Calculation of the Number of Print Items and Production Area – Calculation of the number of Print Items to be produced and the total area did not account for all pages of multipage Print Items. This behavior has been corrected, and calculation has been expanded accordingly [PPDWF-13446].
2.5. Grid Charts
Tooltip – Grid Chart Color Values – Source color values were not displayed in the tooltip for the Color Values Grid Chart type. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13948].
Tooltip After Changing the Color Policy – Values in the tooltip were not updated after switching to a different Color Policy. This issue has been resolved [PPDWF-13934].
