Enfocus Instant PDF makes producing press-ready
PDFs easy for creative professionals.
Reduce
your workload... Safely
Using award-winning Enfocus Certified PDF®
technology, it's the simplest and most reliable way to create PDFs that
comply with your print or advertisement vendors' specifications.
Stick
to Standards, Get Certified
While working
in your favorite creative application - Adobe® InDesign®, Adobe®
Illustrator®, QuarkXPress™, Adobe® Acrobat® - simply select "Save as
Certified PDF..." from the File menu and let Instant PDF take care of
creating your PDF, preflighting it, modifying it where necessary, and
even sending it to your print provider - all without leaving your
application!
Relieves
Stress and Headaches for Designers and Printers
Instant PDF is unique in that it allows pre-press
experts to define PDF Queues that contain all the PDF creation settings required
for outputting quality PDFs. PDF Queues can be distributed as files or published
on CertifiedPDF.net from where designers can automatically import them into
Instant PDF.
The built-in synchronization feature with CertifiedPDF.net guarantees imported
PDF Queues remain up-to-date, ensuring ongoing consistency with your printer,
publisher or industry association specification, including PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3,
PDF/X-4 and Ghent PDF Workgroup. All of which means that once a PDF Queue is
imported, document creators are ready to produce press-ready PDFs without
agonizing over the technical aspects of PDF file creation.
For print providers, Instant PDF significantly
reduces the load on customer service and pre-press operators because Certified
PDF files are always output correctly right at the designer's workstation. With
award-winning Enfocus Certified PDF® technology, the files are flagged as ready
for output from the moment they arrive in your inbox.
Instant PDF is available as a stand-alone
application for document creators, while volume licensing is available for
workgroups consisting of five or more users. Instant PDF is also available in
multi-packs for distribution; enabling document receivers to equip their
customers with the application in order to consistently receive production-ready
PDF files.
Instant PDF for Document Creators...
Relieves Stress and Headaches
Ever sent a job to your printer, then spent two days fretting over (a) what
you're going to get back and (b) whose head is going to roll if it isn't exactly
what your art director or cli-ent expected? They're common concerns among
creative professionals, and thankfully with Instant PDF 10 you can eliminate
them completely. Here's how:
Instant PDF controls the entire PDF creation
process so you don't need to worry about the technical aspects of PDF file
output. It's as simple as "Save as Certified PDF..."
As PDFs are created they are preflighted.
Instant PDF can automatically correct most common errors on-the-fly and
provide you with immediate visual feedback on your PDF's preflight status.
You can have your print vendor build a
custom PDF Queue for Instant PDF that creates and preflights your PDFs for
you according to their specification. Then, when you send the file for
output, you can be sure it matches exactly what your printer requires for
high-quality results.
And if you don't have a printer-supplied PDF
Queue, don't worry! Just choose the PDF Queue that best suits your needs
from Instant PDF's default database. It will control all the settings that
impact PDF quality including print styles, PDF export and Adobe PDF
settings.
Instant PDF can automatically log-on to
CertifiedPDF.net and download and up-date PDF Queues from your print vendor
or industry associations.
And if you're feeling adventurous, the
Standard PDF Queue Editor allows intuitive customization of your own PDF
Queues.
Simplicity
No other application comes close to making
production of press-ready PDFs so easy. You no longer need an apprenticeship in
pre-press and printing to feel sure your files will output correctly. In fact,
if you're using Adobe® InDesign®, Adobe® Illustrator®, QuarkXPress™ or Adobe®
Acrobat®, it's as simple as choosing "Save as Certified PDF..." under your File
menu and selecting the PDF Queue required by your print vendor.
Instant PDF 10 will even deliver your press-ready PDFs directly to your
printer's e-mail inbox, FTP server or even Enfocus PowerSwitch automated
workflow without you having to do a thing! With PDF production made so easy,
you'll have lots more time to work with the features in your pro applications
that you actually enjoy using! Easy problem identification through reporting
Instant PDF users rely on Enfocus' error reporting when using Instant PDF, but
don't want to waste time searching for identified errors. With the new annotated
report they see the problem areas in a glance. Problems are identified
immediately and can be quickly re-solved, allowing them to move on to the next
job and save valuable time.
Instant PDF = Instant ROI
The price of a license for Instant PDF often costs less than a single
botched print job, saving you money and keeping your clients and printers happy
into the bargain.
Instant PDF for Document Receivers...
Control Designers' Output Conditions
Ever wish you could convince your clients to produce PDFs exactly the way you
want them to? When it comes to getting files ready for print, you may know best,
but not eve-ryone is listening! Instant PDF 10 overcomes this problem through
PDF Queue technol-ogy. Here's how:
Create PDF Queues and send them to your
clients who simply import them into their version of Instant PDF 10. That's
it! They're now ready to produce press-ready preflighted PDFs according to
your criteria. And if you post your Specifications on CertifiedPDF.net, they
can subscribe for free to your PDF Queues and have them update automatically
on their machines.
PDF Queues contain all the settings required
for consistent PDF creation & delivery such as QuarkXPress™ and Adobe®
InDesign® Print Styles and PDF Export set-tings, Adobe PDF Settings, Enfocus
PDF Profile and Action Lists, file naming con-figurations and automated
delivery settings (e-mail or FTP).
Instant PDF 10 fixes typical errors in PDFs
before they're sent to you, even in PDFs created from Microsoft® Office®
applications!
Stick to Standards, Get Certified
There's no need to start from scratch when you create your PDF Queues. Instant
PDF 10 ships with many predefined PDF Queues, including the industry-standards
PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4 and Ghent PDF Workgroup. Couple this with
award-winning Enfocus Certified PDF® technology and you'll soon be receiving
files you know you can trust.
Reduce
Your Workload... Safely
When your clients use Instant PDF 10 to produce their files, you can easily
guarantee compliancy with your PDF-quality specification and significantly
reduce the time spent testing incoming files for possible problems. All Enfocus
Certified PDFs will have an em-bedded PDF Profile and will have been tested
against that PDF Profile. If that PDF Pro-file is the one you supplied to your
client, then knowing whether the file is press-ready or not is as simple as
looking for the Enfocus green check mark in Acrobat's toolbar!
And you can even have your clients deliver files directly to your FTP server
with Instant PDF 10's built-in FTP transfer client, saving you time sorting
through e-mails or CD/DVDs. Couple this with the power of Enfocus PitStop Server
or Enfocus PitStop Automate to pick up and process those PDFs and you may be
pleasantly surprised how much free time you have on your hands.
Clarify Liability
Botched print jobs cost money, period. But with Enfocus Certified PDF®
technology built into the core of Instant PDF 10, you'll know immediately how
your client's PDFs were produced and, most importantly, whether they were tested
against the PDF Profile you provided.
Instant PDF 10's integrated locking system and PDF Profile-authenticity checks
assure the integrity of the PDF Queue used to produce the file. This makes your
settings com-pletely tamper-proof and guarantees all the Certified PDFs you
receive are ready for press on your terms.
