Ever sent a job to your printer, then spent two days fretting over (a) what you’re going to get back and (b) whose head is going to roll if it isn’t exactly what your art director or client expected? They’re common concerns among creative professionals, and thankfully with Instant PDF 4 you can eliminate them completely. Here’s how:
- Instant PDF 4 controls the entire PDF creation process so you don’t need to worry about the technical aspects of PDF file output. It’s as simple as "Save as Certified PDF..."
- As PDFs are created they are preflighted. Instant PDF 4 can automatically correct most common errors on-the-fly and provide you with immediate visual feedback on your PDF’s preflight status.
- You can have your print vendor build a custom PDF Queue for Instant PDF 4 that creates and preflights your PDFs for you according to their specification. Then, when you send the file for output, you can be sure it matches exactly what your printer requires for high-quality results.
- And if you don’t have a printer-supplied PDF Queue, don’t worry! Just choose the PDF Queue that best suits your needs from Instant PDF’s default database. It will control all the settings that impact PDF quality including print styles, PDF export and Adobe PDF settings.
- If you’re asked for a standards-compliant PDF, it couldn’t be simpler. PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and Ghent PDF Workgroup PDF Queues are built into Instant PDF 4, meaning you can produce standards-compliant PDFs when asked without even knowing what they are!
- Instant PDF 4 can automatically log-on to CertifiedPDF.net and download and update PDF Queues from your print vendor or industry associations.
- Instant PDF 4 not only self-installs but also self-heals. For example, if your virtual printers or PDF plug-ins get accidentally deleted, Instant PDF 4 will restore them next time it’s launched. This means less manual configuration, set-up and maintenance for you.
And if you’re feeling adventurous, the Standard PDF Queue Editor allows intuitive customization of your own PDF Queues.
