These are the products we offer for PDF creation, manipulation, viewing, editing,
printing — desktop & server side PDF, "Distillers," dynamic PDF creation.
|
|
In addition to selling special-purpose solutions that generate PDF files
(e.g., variable-data-printing/publishing solutions),
Citation Software also sells general-purpose solutions for generating,
viewing, modifying, and printing PDF files.
Scroll down this page to learn about each of these products — or
read more here first to get a general overview.
Some of these solutions do server side PDF creation.
Some solutions are
off-the-shelf desktop PDF solutions and server side PDF creation solutions
that are designed for end users — each of these solutions
has a graphical user interface (GUI).
Other solutions are developers' libraries/toolkits/SDKs with APIs.
Here are brief descriptions of the PDF creation solutions that we offer.
Note that some of these solutions run on a variety of platforms, including
AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.

ExpressConversion Server
|
|
ExpressConversion Server is server-based software
that automatically converts files from and to many different
formats, including PDF formats. ExpressConversion Server can stand
alone or can be integrated seamlessly with
existing workflow systems and with
enterprise-level document-management
applications.
|
If used in conjunction with
Relay, a browser-based
document-transformation & publishing tool,
ExpressConversion Server eliminates the need
to purchase, install, and maintain desktop
applications for converting documents to PDF format.
Hundreds of file formats are supported, including
Adobe Illustrator; Adobe Photoshop; ASCII text and ANSI text;
AutoCad (DWF, DXF, DWG); CGM; HPGL; HTML;
Microsoft Word (DOC, DOT, RTF, more); Microsoft Excel (XLS, XLT, more);
Microsoft Publisher (PUB); Text Mail (MIME);
XML/XSL; WordPerfect (WPD, WPS); Lotus (WK1, WK1, WK3, more);
WML;
many image formats (BMP, CUR, ICO, DIB, GIF, IMG, JPG/JPEG, more).
(This is only a partial list. Click the link below for
a complete list of supported file formats.)
It is also possible to extract document
metadata in XML
or CSV format.
|
Three rendering technologies
File rendering is performed using one of the following
three rendering technologies:
- Integrated File Type Support. This is used to
convert plain (ASCII and ANSI) text files, image files,
HPGL files, MSG files, and
PDF files to
PDF, PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, or ZIP format.
Metadata from input document is incorporated into PDF
output, and metadata can be extracted in XML format or
CSV format.
- Native Application Support. This uses the
native application
(the application that created the to-be-converted file)
to render
documents. To use this rendering technology,
the native application
(Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, WordPerfect, etc.)
must be installed on the same computer as ExpressConversion Server.
- Extended File Type Support.
(Requires Extended Output Module,
an add-on to ExpressConversion Server.)
Addition of the Extended Output Module allows
ExpressConversion
Server to convert more than 300 file formats into
PDF, PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, ZIP, DOC, RTF, HTML, JPEG,
PNG, TIFF, or XPS format.
This method ensures
the fastest rendering performance; it does not rely
on native applications.

Facilitates compliance with corporate and governmental regulations
Increasing corporate and governmental regulations have led to growing demand for use
of specific document formats when exchanging and archiving documents.
ExpressConversion Server has special features that facilitate compliance with
such regulations. For example, ExpressConversion Server can create documents in
PDF/A format, which is a format that's required by many corporate and
government regulators.
|
Features
ExpressConversion server offers the following features:
Unlimited conversions.
Flexible server-based licensing model allows for unlimited
document conversions on a single server. The only limits
are server performance and network performance.
Hot folders/watched folders.
Rapid deployment and simple integration with existing
document-management systems. Loose coupling between systems
increases the resilience of the overall workflow.
Command-line integration.
Program start, auto stop, etc.
E-mail integration.
Connect users and systems using your existing e-mail
infrastructure. Users simply e-mail a file as an e-mail
attachment to ExpressConversion Server — the PDF file
generated by ExpressConversion Server is returned to the sender.
Web-Services integration.
SOAP-compliant messaging, load balancing, job management,
and reporting.
Integrated scripting support.
Gain complete control over the document workflow with
integrated VB and JavaScript. Execute scripts at different
"event triggers" to add control logic and provide customized
operations to the document-transformation and document-delivery process.
Scheduling.
Days of the week, start/stop times.
Page/content scaling.
Scale page size or page content to ensure compliance
with enterprise requirements or regulatory requirements.
Fault monitoring and recovery.
Fault Monitoring and Recovery (FMR) Windows Service monitors server performance to maximize
up-time. Corrupted documents are handled gracefully so that
document workflows are not interrupted.
Comprehensive file-type support.
Supports over 300 input-file formats for conversion into PDF,
PDF/A 1b, PDF/X, text, ZIP, DOC, RTF, HTML, JPEG, PNG,
TIFF, or XPS format.
Metadata support.
Metadata from input document is incorporated
into PDF output format.
Metadata can be extracted from PDF file
in XML format or CSV format.
XML job ticket support.
Tailor each document conversion to meet the requirements of
your workflow by creating an XML job ticket
(an XML-based instruction file). The XML job ticket contains
processing instructions for ExpressConversion Server, including:
- source documents
- conversion settings
- document-delivery options
Job Ticket Templates (partial XML job tickets) contain
repeatable instructions referenced from main job tickets.
PDF downgrading.
Convert PDF files to the PDF 1.4 spec to comply with process
requirements or
regulatory requirements (e.g. FDA requires all PDFs to be
at the 1.4 spec).
Hyperlinks/bookmark support.
The PDF files that you create with ExpressConversion Server
can contain bookmarks and hyperlinks.
Unicode font support.
Support for Unicode fonts, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Document Open options.
Control the opening-page appearance for PDF documents.
Options include Page Only, Page and Bookmarks, Page and Thumbnails.
All standard PDF views are supported, including Page Only,
Thumbnail, Bookmark, and Zoom settings.
PDF Info extraction.
Extract PDF Information from PDF documents into Text,
XML or CSV files. The PDF Info features can support data extraction as
well as document analysis. You can use the PDF Info feature
to power the logic for complex
document workflows. The following data types can be extracted:
- Text (including location, size and font)
- File Info (file size, date)
- Page Count
- Bookmarks
- Hyperlinks
- Form Fields
- Metadata
- XMP Metadata
- OCR ZoneData
Text output.
Extract text from images and output to *.TXT. Ideal for
full-text indexing applications, for content repurposing, or
for delivery to wireless devices such as a PDA.
Use ExpressRecognition software
to turn images into Text.
File compression.
Compress PDF files by up to 80% without document degradation.
Reduces cost of archiving.
Document security.
Systematically apply multiple levels of security to
documents, including restrictions on opening, printing,
copying, editing, etc.
PDF/A output.
All supported formats can be converted into PDFs that
are compliant with the PDF/A standard.
Validation of PDF documents is provided,
to ensure that the documents comply
with the PDF/A standard. Deviations from the standard
are stored in an XML log to facilitate analysis and reporting.
Supported file formats.
INPUT FORMATS
ExpressConversion Server itself accepts the following
file formats as input:
- plain (ASCII and ANSI) text

Adobe PDF JobReady
|
|
|
The Adobe PDF JobReady software can help mitigate some
of the common problems that occur during the print-job-submission
process.
Adobe PDF JobReady is software that enables print providers
to develop streamlined, reliable PDF-based
and Internet-enabled workflows that begin at their customers'
desktops and extend across intranets, extranets or the
Internet to the final printing service or output device.
Support for Windows and Mac OS (including MacIntel) platforms
makes it easy for end users to create and submit print-ready jobs from
any authoring application that can print.
|
Problem: File-submission errors
|
Studies show that 67% of jobs submitted to print-service
providers fail due to file-submission errors. Fonts may be
missing from the submitted job, color models can be
specified incorrectly, and graphics files can be
inadvertently omitted. When this occurs, the print-service provider
must ask that the job (or the missing components) be resubmitted.
For the print-service provider, this means added cost
and lower margin, more complexity in the job workflow,
and decreased customer satisfaction.
For the user that's submitting the job, this means
added work, increased frustration level, and a longer wait
for delivery of the completed job.
|
|
|
Problem: No job preview
|
Another common problem in the job-submission workflow is that
the user often cannot obtain an accurate job preview.
The final result may be completely different from what
is expected, due to differences between the user's software
environment and the print-service provider's software environment.
As a result, a finished job might be rejected because
"that's not what it's supposed to look like."
|
The Solution: Adobe PDF JobReady
|
Adobe PDF JobReady addresses both these problems by implementing
a secure, controlled PDF-based workflow. By using the
Adobe PDF JobReady software, a print-service
provider can ensure that all submitted jobs are complete
and that all submitted jobs are set up correctly for their
own equipment. Users can preview
jobs prior to submission, and since the preview is
device-independent PDF, the preview will be virtually identical
to the final output. And overall, job resubmissions
are drastically reduced.
|
How it works
|
Users use the Adobe PDF JobReady client to create a
PDF file simply by clicking File > Print from within
an application. The Adobe PDF JobReady client functions
like a print driver. It creates
a print-ready PDF file and then leads the user through the
process of submitting the file to the print-service provide
via the Internet or perhaps via an intranet or extranet.
Adobe PDF JobReady is packaged as a software development kit
(SDK) for integration into a print-workflow solution.
Two components
In the runtime environment, the Adobe PDF JobReady software
has two main components: the Adobe PDF JobReady client and
the Adobe PDF JobReady server.
- Adobe PDF JobReady client.
This functions as a print driver, allowing the
user to generate a PDF file by clicking
File > Print from within an application.
- AdobePDF JobReady server.
This is a set of software libraries that offer basic
JDF-reading and PDF-decryption functions.
OEMs, ISVs, or systems integrators use the Adobe PDF client-configuration
wizard to tailor the Adobe PDF JobReady client for
each customer's installation. The
configuration options include company-branding capabilities
and PDF-file-creation parameters.
Once created, the customized Adobe PDF JobReady client
(print driver) can
be distributed through print providers to their
customers for installation onto the customers' desktops.
The Adobe PDF JobReady software comes with two
client-configuration wizards: one for Macintosh computers
and one for Windows computers.
The Adobe PDF JobReady client creates an encrypted
PDF file based on the preset PDF-file-creation parameters;
it also creates a JDF job ticket that specifies the
PDF file's characteristics.
After it creates the PDF file and the JDF job ticket,
the Adobe PDF JobReady client presents a PDF preview to the customer
and connects to the target Web application for job
ticketing and submission.
Once submission is complete, the Adobe PDF JobReady server
takes over: it decrypts the PDF file and reads the
JDF job ticket.
|
Target audience
- Quick printers
- Commercial printers
- Corporate in-house print centers
- Facilities-management companies
- OEMs and ISVs
|
Features
- One-click creation of print-ready PDF file from
any authoring application, based on print provider's
preconfigured settings
- Instant proofing of print job
- Secure delivery options, including 128-bit encryption;
unique set of encryption/decryption keys for each print provider
- Client-side creation of a Job Definition Format
(JDF) job ticket
- Conversion of RGB colors to CMYK.
|
Benefits to print providers
- More efficient workflow
- Increase in customer satisfaction
- Decreased in employee frustration!
- Revenue-stream protection: encryption scheme renders PDF files useless
if submitted to a different print provider
|
Benefits to end users
- Save time by simplifying
the steps needed to submit print-ready PDF
files over the Internet
- Reduce costs by previewing jobs before output,
allowing for correction of unexpected problems before
submitting file
- Take advantage of PDF's reliable structure
for print-job submission without investing in software
to generate PDF files
|
