Enfocus will unveil Instant PDF 3.0; the successor to Instant PDF 2.0. Planned for commercial release in the second half of this year, Instant PDF 3.0 is a stand-alone application closely integrated with industry-leading page layout and PDF tools such as Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress and Adobe Acrobat.
Instant PDF 3.0 brings document creators and document receivers together by providing the tools needed to achieve the highest quality Certified PDF output. Document receivers (such as printers and publishers) create an Enfocus PDF Queue containing all the necessary settings to produce high quality PDF files according to the documents receiver’s specification.
Document creators (such as graphic designers and ad agencies) load the resulting Enfocus PDF Queue to produce press-ready PDF files from their native layout application.
Enfocus will also show a technology preview of how job ticket support will be incorporated into all of its products. The job ticket technology will be incorporated into the Certified PDF workflow and will be stored in the PDF as XML data. This approach ensures that the job tickets become an integral part of the document receiver’s quality specifications.
The technology preview will also include PitStop Server extracting job ticket information in multiple formats, including standard JDF, for easy integration with back-end MIS systems.
Enfocus is also participating in CIP4’s JDF Parc, a section within drupa’s Innovation Parc, where the company will show a technology preview of its job ticket implementation interoperating with various vendors’ solutions in the JDF Parc. Based on extended versions of its leading products Instant PDF and PitStop Server, Enfocus will be demonstrating prototypes of its JDF and job ticket implementation with Agfa, Dalim Software, Esko-Graphics, Oce Printing Systems, Optimus, Screen and Vio. Enfocus will emphasize its contribution to JDF workflows in the creator-to-receiver portion of the workflow.
