Symptoms
- When processing VDP, the "Step & Repeat Tabular" or "Step & Repeat CAD based" task may in specific circumstances cause Dynamic Marks to show inks that are not present in the document.
- This can only happen for VDP templates created in ArtPro+ that for some time contained separations that were later removed (e.g. corresponding objects were deleted).
- The PDF/vt document expanded from such template contained reference to these unused separations and marks in S&R task used them like if they were present in the document.
- As the solution to this problem is with improving the VDP expansion itself, after applying the hotfix, the expansion needs to be redone before the Step & Repeat tasks will show correct output.
