What does PDF Standardizer offer?
Creating print-ready PDFs
PDF Standardizer creates Certified PDFs that comply with ISO 15930-1 PDF/X1-a and Ghent PDF Workgroup standards and whose color content comply with ISO 12647 color standards. This guarantees unprecedented level of reliability and quality assurance for global and print-on-demand workflows. A series of automated analysis and correction steps are performed by PDF Standardizer in order to make incoming PDFs adhere to standard file formats.
Simple to use and integrate
Configuring PDF Standardizer is done using two convenient wizards. Users need to answer few basic questions which will allow PDF Standardizer to identify the right preflight parameters, color settings and certification profiles to use. A second wizard configures PDF Standardizer to retrieve files from hotfolder, email and FTP and sort them depending on filename convention. Integration with existing workflows and workflow systems is very easy
Powerful workflow automation
PDF Standardizer contains the complete FullSwitch functionality. Users can go beyond the workflows setup using the wizards and define their own workflows, routing files and drive other applications as in FullSwitch.
Quality control mode in the LAN
The features mentioned above allow PDF Standardizer to be installed on one computer on the local network. Users copy their PDFs to that computer and PDF Standardizer will create the normalized files or generate reports that indicate what the problems are. Users can then pickup the results from this “quality-mode”.
