PDF Workflows

Richard Mathews, electronic prepress network supervisor, shares his assessment of Adobe technology within Prinergy. "Prinergy uses Adobe Extreme to create customized job tickets and process plans, which control and perform user-designed tasks," he reports. "The system accepts industry standard file formats and refines them to small, page-independent PDF files —saving network transfer time, processing time and storage space for archiving. The smaller size of the PDF gives us speed increases that have boosted our efficiency overall."
