PDF HandShake G8

HELIOS PDF HandShake G8

fully leverages 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 challenges.

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 generates PDF documents from any PostScript print job. Simply set up multiple print queues, each corresponding to a specific set of job options. The solution automatically utilizes multiple servers for PDF creation and scales from a few users to hundreds of users.

Smart ICC Color Management

color-matches every object within a PDF. It properly converts PDF to CMYK while detecting and preserving raster and vector black, gray, white, and pure CMY colors – ideal for color-normalizing PDFs. Source profiles, printer and proofer profiles, and ICC rendering intents can be specified.

PDF HandShake Printing

delivers correct separations and composite PDF printing on any PostScript output device. Capabilities include printing registration marks, custom page sizes, always printing with the correct fonts, conversion of embedded TrueType and CID fonts to Type 1, and more. PDF HandShake is the ideal printing solution for any PDF document while always ensuring correct output.

PDF-native OPI

with ImageServer allows placing EPS low-resolution files that are automatically generated from high-resolution PDFs. During output, the low-resolution files are replaced with the PDF high-resolution data.
In addition, PDF HandShake tools allow OPI printing and high-resolution PDF generation. All OPI references will be replaced with their originals.
