Abstract: In a method for electronic assembly of a printing form with an assembly station, the imposition of pages into a printing form is undertaken with the assembly station, whereby a form PostScript file is generated that contains all data for output of the printing form. Individual PostScript pages are successively stored as a PostScript job in one or more print-to-disk files on the server. The print-to-disk files are loaded into the assembly station via the network. A first form print-to-disk file is generated at the assembly station. This first form print-to-disk file contains include instructions which indicate how the individual pages should be arranged on the printing form and where the individual pages are located within the print-to-disk files, instead of containing the contents of the individual pages of the print-to-disk file or files. The first form PostScript file is transmitted to the server and a second form PostScript file is generated in the server by use of the include instructions.
