Putting PDF into Production

Another example of PDF in action is seen at Portland, OR-based Premier Press, a full-service commercial printing operation that uses PDF to streamline its prepress production by 50 percent. In 1998, the management of Premier Press decided to convert the company's prepress area, bit by bit, to a PDF-based CTP prepress department. The executives at Premier Press wanted more streamlined prepress workflow operations, with quantifiable time savings and increased efficiencies throughout its prepress department.
