PDF HandShake G8

HELIOS PDF HandShake G8

fully utilizes the benefits of PDF in existing production environments. Automated server-based PDF generation, PDF printing, PDF OPI, and batch tools boost productivity, and overcome today’s PDF problems.

Create PDF Server

is a highly automated server-based PDF creation solution. Mac, Windows and UNIX clients can print to a Create PDF printer queue which automatically creates PDF documents of any PostScript print job. Simply set up various print queues, each corresponding to a specific set of job options. This solution is able to automatically utilize multiple servers for the PDF creation, and scales from a few users to hundreds of users.

Smart ICC Color Management

can color match every object within a PDF. Properly converts PDF to CMYK, with ability to detect and preserve raster and vector black, gray, white and pure CMY colors. Perfect to color-normalize PDFs. Source profiles, printer and proofer profiles and ICC rendering intents can be specified.

PDF HandShake Printing

offers correct separations and composite PDF printing on any PostScript output device. PDF HandShake capabilities include printing registration marks, custom page sizes, printing always with correct fonts, conversion of embedded TrueType and CID fonts to Type 1, and more. PDF HandShake is the perfect printing solution for any PDF document. It doesn't matter if the PDF is from MS-Office, QuarkXPress or InDesign – PDF HandShake printing will always print correctly.

ImageServer OPI

users can place EPS low-res files, which are automatically created from PDF high-res documents. During printout, the low-res files will be replaced with the PDF high-res data and printed correctly using the PDF HandShake printing technology. Printing to a Create PDF queue produces high-res or low-res PDF of all OPI print jobs. PDF with OPI references is fully supported and printing to an OPI queue replaces all OPI references.
