NOTE
Importing iW documents created using the following versions of applications into Desktop Editor is not supported:
Versions of Publishing Manager earlier than Version 3.0
All versions of Publishing Manager Professional Edition
All versions of Prepress Manager
iW documents (*.iwd) can be edited in Desktop Editor, however their settings are not maintained when opening them.
Segment settings (variable print settings and annotation drawing) performed in Publishing Manager Version 2.0 or earlier
You can use Publishing Manager and Desktop in the same computer, but there are no functions to link the two.
You cannot import an iW document that is being used into Desktop Editor.
Because the group information of iW documents is lost during conversion/import, there are no groups when you start editing objects in Desktop Editor.
