PDF-native OPI and PDF Repurposing

Adobe InDesign users can place OPI low-resolution images and export low-resolution PDFs into a hot folder. All OPI-referenced images/PDFs are replaced with optimized, color-matched originals in a high-resolution PDF file. Benefits include:

  • Preserves PDF transparency, drop shadows, and XMP metadata
  • Server-based ICC color management – apply/tag printer ICC profiles into the PDF job to transform images for different printing processes or include high-resolution image profiles
  • Downsample replaced images
  • Compress replaced images (G4, JPEG, JPEG 2000, ZIP, etc.)
  • Low-resolution PDF can be repurposed for multiple settings/productions
  • Remote page composition – users can be provided with layout images and return complete pages for final output. HELIOS WebShare options enable web-based workflows
PDF and PostScript OPI
  • EPSF layout files are automatically created from PDF documents for placement and printing
  • Automatic PDF replacement of OPI image references in a PDF document
Create PDF Server
  • Automatic PDF creation via print queues on the server
  • Support for Windows and Mac printer queues; UNIX clients via “lpr”
  • Customized job options and security settings per queue allow different PDF creation settings
  • Acrobat Distiller is used with HELIOS Create PDF Server on one or more dedicated Mac or Windows workstations for PDF creation
  • Scalable via load-balancing queues
  • Centralized Create PDF queue administration within HELIOS Admin – no configuration required on individual Create PDF Server machines
