PDF Standardizer encompasses the experience of two graphic industry leaders : Alwan Color Expertise and Enfocus. It is an unprecedented solution that provides production workflows with state-of-the art quality controlled and standardized PDF files. It’s the first solution ever to deliver problem-free PDF to recent and older workflow systems.

Compliance with International Standards – PDF (ISO 15930) and Printing (ISO 12647) - enables all operators to work safely according to set rules. It also provides them with a problem-free, quality and cost-effective production environment. The implementation of ISO standards often requires costly and time-consuming changes in working methods and practices. Though they acknowledge the importance of standards, companies and operators can be reluctant to adopt them because of this.

PDF Standardizer was designed to overcome the constraints of ISO implementation. It is the most reliable and efficient solution which allows easy and affordable standardization of all PDF files going to print production:

• PDF Standardizer encompasses the best of Enfocus PitStop and FullSWITCH technologies and Alwan CMYK Optimizer’s Dynamic DeviceLinks technology, recipient of 2008 PIA/GATF Intertech Award The combination of those three technologies greatly simplifies the production of problem-free PDF going to print

• Enfocus FullSwitch is a task automation tool from file reception to file delivery

• Enfocus PitStop is a PDF preflight and correction tool. It produces PDF/X files that comply with the destination process

• Alwan CMYK Optimizer is a color preflight and correction tool. It standardizes PDF color content to comply with the destination process, hence enabling reliable proofing, fast and matching press printing

• PDF Standardizer is easy to install and to set thanks to a user-friendly interactive wizard ruling out any error or misunderstanding of the software settings.
