HELIOS Software for PDF Production at drupa 2008



HELIOS Software GmbH, a leading developer of cross-platform networking (http://www.helios.de/news/news08/N_02_08.phtml), PDF (http://www.helios.de/products/PDFH/PDF_Handshake.phtml), and image server (http://www.helios.de/products/OPI/ES_OPI.phtml) solutions for Mac, Windows, and web clients, will present its comprehensive and automated PDF production environment at drupa 2008 (hall 9 booth #E23). Two important features to optimize prepress processes are PDF-native OPI image replacement, to enhance the InDesign native PDF export, and PDF flattening using the new Tool Server. Additionally hot-folder automation and the new easy integration of third party applications are further means for cost reduction and production time saving.

Further PDF production features integrated within the HELIOS UB+ software suite are:

- Scalable, server based PDF creation using the industry standard Acrobat Distiller for highly compatible PDF output.

- Automated hot-folder PDF preflighting using the HELIOS integrated pdfInspektor 4

- ICC 4 color management with blackpoint compensation, and preservation of pure colors

- CMYK-to-CMYK color matching utilizing DeviceLink profiles to preserve black settings and save inks

HELIOS Software will offer a range of short seminars at drupa 2008, that give more detailed information about the new features and related benefits. The "PDF production" seminar will show server automated solutions for PDF creation, PDF preflight, PDF flattening, PDF printing, and PDF proofing. New capabilities and speed are offered by using a PDF-native OPI workflow with InDesign. In addition it will be explained how to convert bitmap images into PDF for archiving.

Advance online registration at http://www.helios.de/news/drupa/seminar-registration.phtml is strongly recommended.
