Prinect PDF Toolbox

PDF Assistant - A Safer PDF Workflow

The software allows users to edit and analyze PDF files with maximum efficiency. Costly mistakes during PDF generation are quickly detected and can be rapidly eliminated.

The most important functions at a glance:

• Extensive preflight with well-structured test report
• Numerous options for the adaptation of page geometry
• Faster screen build-up through alternative images
• Rapid correction of separated PDF data
• Register control through simulation of perfecting
• Merging of several pages to form one PDF page
• Individual pages can be extracted from imposed print sheets

PDF Report:  Preflight Tool - provides detailed and well-structured reports including error messages and warnings   Geometry control:  Generation and adjustment of different page frames as well as modification of file parameters for the size and positioning of pages   Accelerated view:  Using lowres images for faster screen build-up Separation control:  Editing separation information in a pre-separated PDF file   Status control:  To check register accuracy sheets or pages can be placed transparently on top of each other   Page construction:  Kombinieren von zwei oder mehreren PDF-Seiten zu einer Seite   Layout Preview:  Extrahieren von PDF-Seiten aus einem komplett ausgeschossenen Bogen

PDF Report This preflight tool checks the quality of a PDF file using more than 80 print-related criteria in the shortest possible time and delivers a well-structured report with detailed error messages and warnings. The tool also offers extensive correction options for PDF files   The most important functions at a glance: Rapid checking of a PDF fi le using standard or proprietary test profiles Test report with detailed information and warnings on color spaces, fonts, spot colors, image and bitmap resolutions, inking, line weights, PDF/X-related data, screens, etc. Link from the error stated in the report to the relevant place in the original Rapid, filtered navigation from problem to problem Checking of specifi c overprinting parameters Automatic zooming in on the problematic point

Geometry control In addition to the generation and adjustment of the different page frames (media, trim, bleed, crop and art boxes), the geometry control function also allows the modification of file parameters for the size and positioning of pages, their correction or the set-up of new pages. Automatic adaptation of the trim, bleed and media boxes is also possible.   The most important functions at a glance: Set, correct and adjust page boxes Application on selectable page areas Scaling and rotating of page content and page boxes Splitting of a page along any horizontal or vertical axis Interactive shifting or automatic centering of page content Clipping of page content to the size of one of the page boxes

Accelerated View Lower-resolution alternative images can be used for faster screen build-up without affecting PDF/X compatibility.

Separation Control This function allows separation information to be edited in a pre-separated PDF file, so that this information can be checked against the anticipated print result even before printing.   The most important functions at a glance: Display of available separation information Grouping of related separation pages Modification of existing groupings Generation of separation information Modification of existing color information from separations Generation of pseudo-composite PDF files

Status Control The recto and verso of sheets or pages can be placed transparently on top of each other in order to check register accuracy.   The most important functions at a glance: Simulation of perfecting through transparent overlaying of two pages Simulation for recto and verso printing of light weight paper Adjustable transparency (0 to 100 percent) Adjustable XY offset for added page Various possible settings for page merging The results of page combinations can be stored

Page construction This tool allows two or more PDF pages to be combined into one. The function also enables missing parts to be added to a PDF.   The most important functions at a glance: Clear representation for position control Buttons for rapid and simple positioning Fine adjustment through step-by-step or freehand shifting or through numerical input Rotation, work-and-turn and work-and-tumble of pages Effect on adjustable page areas

Layout preview Facilitates the extraction of PDF pages from a fully imposed sheet. Last-minute changes can be carried out directly before entering the platesetter, or individual pages on the sheet can be checked once more and modified and exchanged where required.
