pdfToolbox
pdfToolbox offers powerful, dynamic and easy to integrate PDF processing, from quick visual inspection and fixing to fully unattended processing of thousands of files. Using rock-solid Adobe technology pdfToolbox provides checking and fixing of even very complex problems, color management, impositioning, conversion to and from PDF and more. pdfToolbox technology is used by small companies, large publishers and print providers as well as OEMs that integrate the technology in their own solution.
pdfToolbox Desktop is a manual PDF preflight and correction application, available as a plug-in in Adobe Acrobat Pro or as a standalone application.
pdfToolbox Switchboard: all prepress actions in three clicks
pdfToolbox offers prepress operators an easy to use interface for all pre-press actions, which gets you to each action you might need in three simple steps. You can easily customize this further, so you have your favorite actions at your fingertips.
Check and correct files, ready for print
pdfToolbox will fully check your file based on the parameters you have set. With pdfToolbox Desktop you can create your own preflight (quality control) rules or use any of the predefined profiles that come with the software. Many of those predefined profiles are based on international standards, so you are sure that the file is ready for print in the end.
Quickly visualize problem zones
Reporting you that there is an error with a file is one thing, showing you where that error is located, is something else. Thanks to the pdfToolbox visualizer you can quickly identify problem locations regarding e.g. ink coverage or text size and rectify these areas.
Prepare files for finishing
pdfToolbox offers you a wide range of tools to further prepare your file for printing based on order specifications ranging from imposition or tiling to grommet placement, the addition of die lines or even creating a forgotten varnish layer to the file.
Build process plans to automate your workflows
Don’t want to check all your files manually? Of course not, that’s why pdfToolbox offers you multi-step conditional processing of files, based on variables that you create yourself. Now, you can create automated flows for files that have to be checked and/or adapted on the same variables, making your file processing more time efficient.
callas pdfToolbox Server automates and standardizes the process of delivering and receiving files. Its advantages: automatic, high-quality preflighting and automatic, reliable correction of PDF files.
Hands off conversion to and from PDF
pdfToolbox Server will convert any type of file to and from pdf, ranging from Office documents to PostScript or Images. In addition, the shapes technology embedded in pdfToolbox uses tracing technology, which allows you to add a correct die-cut line, an additional varnish or foil layer or an under-color white layer exactly there where needed.
Build pre-defined process plans for automation
You can also set up process plans with pdfToolbox Server. These plans define an automated flow that a file should be checked and processed through. Each step can be a preflight profile, a single preflight check or a fix or an action (such as saving images, transforming RGB to CMYK or, creating a booklet ….
Check point for manual intervention
Do you need someone to check the error files to decide whether or not they are a real production problem and, if necessary, to fix them? Then you can integrate manual parts in your automated workflow. This way, the operator can create added value for the client by using his knowledge, based on best practices to decide the best possible way to intervene in this error.
Quickly create standardized documents
By using a preflight profile, you can easily identify and fix PDF problems. Many of those are based on international standards, such as ISO PDF standards or the Ghent Workgroup specifications. That way you are assured that the final document will be standardized and ready to print.
pdfToolbox CLI offers a fast and easy integration of the pdfToolbox technology on a wide range of platforms through a command-line interface.
Integrate to a wide range of platforms
pdfToolbox CLI offers a fast and easy integration of the pdfToolbox technology on a wide range of platforms, like your web shop, web portal, or document management system, through a command-line interface.
Process plans to automate your workflows
You can also set up process plans with pdfToolbox CLI. These plans define an automated flow that a file should be checked and processed through. Each step can be a preflight profile, a single preflight check or a fix or action. No more need for an operator to manually check and adapt all files, speeding up the entire production process.
Go virtual, use what you need!
pdfToolbox CLI can easily be deployed in virtual and auto scalable environments. This way you can easily deal with peak periods in production and can be assured that everything keeps running. With the License Server, you can upgrade whenever you need to scale up your production.
Preflight checks, check, check
Through a method of check marks and warnings, pdfToolbox CLI detects errors in files early on with industry standard quality control and fix common PDF problems automatically to improve turn-around and increase the relationship with clients.
pdfToolbox SDK is a software development kit that allows for a thorough integration of the pdfToolbox functionality in the closest possible way inside your own application.
Build your own application with built-in preflight
pdfToolbox SDK is a software development kit that allows for a thorough integration of the pdfToolbox functionality in the closest possible way inside your own application. Because it doesn’t rely on command-line or hot folder integration, it provides seamless development integration with the highest level of control for the parent application.
Build fully automated process plans
You can also set up process plans with pdfToolbox. These plans define an automated flow that a file should be checked and processed through. Each step can be a preflight profile, a single preflight check or a fix or an action (such as saving images, transforming RGB to CMYK or, creating a booklet ….
Quickly identify problems based on international standards
With pdfToolbox SDK, you have the full force of the pdfToolbox knowledge in your application and can quickly identify PDF problems. It supports all international standards, such as ISO PDF/X, ISO PDF/A, the Ghent Workgroup and PDF/X-Ready standards, but its sifter engine can radically cut back on the false positives other preflight engines will generate.
