Adobe PDF JobReady         
888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

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.

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.
Support for Windows and MacOS (including MacIntel) platforms makes it easy for end users to create and submit print-ready jobs from any authoring application that can print.

Support for MSI-based installation of client software facilitates deployment.
PROBLEM: File-submission errors

Studies show that 67% of jobs submitted to print-service providers fail due to file-submission errors. Fonts might be missing from the submitted job, color models can be specified incorrectly, and graphics files can be omitted inadvertently. When problems like these occur, the print-service provider must ask that the job be resubmitted or must request the missing components.

For the print-service provider, this means added cost and lower margin, more complexity in the job workflow, and decreased customer satisfaction.

For the customer 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 customer often cannot obtain an accurate job preview. Due to differences between the user's software environment and the print-service provider's software environment, the final result might be completely different from what the customer expected. 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 the company's own printing equipment. Customers 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, the requirement for job resubmissions can be reduced drastically.


PDF file submission software

Adobe PDF JobReady is delivered as a software-developer's toolkit (SDK) that can be used as the backbone for print-and-submit workflow applications.

In the runtime environment, the Adobe PDF JobReady software has two main components: the Adobe PDF JobReady client and the Adobe PDF JobReady server.
  1. Adobe PDF JobReady client. This functions as a print driver, allowing the customer (end user) to generate a PDF file by clicking File > Print from within an application.

  2. AdobePDF JobReady server. This is a set of software libraries that offer basic JDF-reading and PDF-decryption functions.
Using the Adobe PDF JobReady SDK, developers build Adobe PDF JobReady clients that are distributed to end users as customized print drivers. As explained above, an end user "prints" using one of these drivers by clicking File > Print from within an application. After the end user selects the Adobe PDF JobReady print driver and clicks the OK button, the following process is initiated:
  • An ecrypted, print-ready PDF file is created.

  • The end user can see a preview.

  • The job is uploaded to the Adobe PDF JobReady server for processing. (This server is maintained by the company that's distributing the Adobe PDF JobReady clients to its customers.)
 more > 
  • End users enjoy one-click creation of print-ready PDF file from any authoring application, based on print provider's preconfigured settings. No need to worry about joboptions files.

  • End users have 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.

  • Support for company branding of client components.

  • Support for customization of PDF properties.

  • Closed-loop encryption/decryption scheme fosters customer loyalty.
The Adobe PDF JobReady server components are available for Linux, MacOS, Solaris, and Windows Server. Both IIS and Apache Web servers are supported.

The Adobe PDF JobReady client component is available for both Macintosh and Windows.

Wizards

To build each Adobe PDF JobReady client, a developer uses a client-configuration wizard to tailor the Adobe PDF JobReady client for each customer's installation. The SDK comes with two client-configuration wizards: one for Macintosh computers and one for Windows computers. The wizards offer configuration options that include company-branding capabilities and PDF-file-creation parameters.

As explained earlier, when the end user clicks File > Print and chooses an Adobe PDF JobReady print driver, a PDF file is created. The properties of the PDF file are based on the preset PDF-file-creation parameters contained in the Adobe PDF JobReady client chosen by the end user. A JDF job ticket is also created; it specifies the PDF file's characteristics.

As was also explained earlier, 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 Adobe PDF JobReady server.

Once submission is complete, the Adobe PDF JobReady server takes over: it decrypts the file and handles other tasks required for processing the job.

Customer retention assured

Each PDF file created by an Adobe PDF JobReady client (print driver) is encrypted in a way that renders it useless unless it is uploaded to the appropriate Adobe PDF JobReady server. In other words: the decryption key required for decrypting the PDF file is available only on the particular server that is coupled with that Adobe PDF JobReady client. This closed-loop mechanism protects your investment in the Adobe PDF JobReady technology by ensuring that your customers rely only on your company to print the PDF files generated by the Adobe PDF JobReady print driver you've provided. Your customers will not be able to make use of the PDF files generated by the Adobe PDF JobReady client you've provided without uploading the PDF files to your Adobe PDF JobReady server.

PitStop Professional provides a host of powerful PDF-editing tools that let you select and edit PDF elements such as text, vector objects, raster images, and color profiles; then change properties such as fonts, font embedding and outlining, color spaces, size and position, image resolution, ICC profiles and much, much more.

For maximum color fidelity, pick the color engine of your choice from a range of industry-standard Color Management System (CMS) solutions.

And because PitStop Professional is an Adobe Acrobat plug-in, you can perform all your modifications without ever having to leave Acrobat's familiar interface.

Note that PitStop Professional lets you do both interactive editing and automated editing.

888-260-7316    info@CitationSoftware.com         

PitStop Server software PitStop Server is an automated preflighting and correction tool for high-volume PDF workflows. Using PDF Profiles and Action Lists, PitStop Server instantly analyzes, corrects, reports on and routes files based on the most stringent of requirements, including the PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, and Ghent PDF Workgroup industry standards.

Available for both Macintosh and Windows computers, the PitStop Server software is fully compatible with the latest preflight profiles (PDF Profiles) from PitStop Professional.

PitStop Server keeps high volumes of PDF files moving through your workflow by testing each file against rigorous preflight conditions. PitStop Server can check for all critical issues that might affect PDF output and can automatically correct the majority of common errors encountered in your PDF files. Once processed, files are routed instantly according to Pass/Warning/Fail criteria. PitStop Server keeps you informed through detailed document reports and XML-based reporting, and it can also automatically send e-mails to keep you updated on the status of your files.

The outcome: files move through your workflow quickly, and you rarely need to intervene manually.

Hot folders

PitStop Server comes with many commonly-used PDF Profiles right out of the box, so you don't lose time searching them out on the Internet or creating them yourself. And, so your workflow can match industry standards, PitStop Server enables PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, and Ghent PDF Workgroup compliance — again, right out of the box. Hot folders can be locked to prevent tampering.

Command-line interface. For tighter integration, use PitStop Server's command-line interface instead of relying on hot folders. An easy mode allows instant integration of the preflight and auto-correction capabilities with standard settings, while the advanced mode allows full customization using an XML-driven integration.

Custom PDF Profiles. Need more control over the exact checks PitStop Server performs on your PDF files? The built-in PDF Profile Editor allows comprehensive customization of checks and corrections. And once you've got a tried-and-tested PDF Profile, you can export it and share it with other users.

Action Lists. If you want PitStop Server to make modifications to your PDF files, add Action Lists to your workflow. These powerful and editable scripts easily automate such repetitive tasks as page renumbering, color or overprint modifications, object replacement, and page resizing, to name just a few. PitStop Server comes with a large collection of Action Lists that will get you started quickly.

Certified PDF® technology. Further streamline your workflow with Enfocus Certified PDF technology, which is fully integrated into PitStop Server. Enfocus Certified PDF files are immediately filtered so that PDFs without problems move through production faster than other PDF files. Certified PDF files can also be set to contain a detailed edit log. A unique rollback function allows you to return to any previously saved state of the file using PitStop Professional.

Quite Suite 1

PDF prepress software

Quite Suite 1 is a two-product bundle that contains:

  1. Quite A Box Of Tricks
  2. Quite Revealing

These products are Adobe Acrobat plug-ins that let you get information about a PDF file and modify it in various ways. The products run on Macintosh computers and Windows computers.

Because these products are Adobe Acrobat plug-ins, you need a full commercial version of Adobe Acrobat on your computer in order to use them. (Note that these products will NOT work with the free Adobe Reader software.)


 Quite A Box Of Tricks  lets you subsample and compress images, do various kinds of color conversions, fix hairlines, scale pages, rotate pages by any angle, flatten or remove form fields and annotations, get information on fonts and images, more.

 Quite Revealing  lets you get information about a PDF document that is otherwise difficult to find — information like the plates used, exactly where particular fonts are used, transparency information, overprinting information, and more. This information is often difficult to find when your preflight tools have produced a report that tells you what is wrong with the file but not where the problems are. That's where Quite Revealing comes in.

These products would cost $438.00 USD if purchased separately. Save $49.00 USD by purchasing this suite for only $389.00 USD.
