pdfaAutoOptimizer
The new benchmark for standards-compliant transparency flattening
Drop shadows, vignettes, translucent objects, objects softly blending into each other and other effects based on transparency have added a great deal of creative freedom to designers. Unfortunately, many production systems are poorly prepared to deal with these cool features. The only workaround: “flattening” the PDFs. callas pdfAutoOptimizer 2 allows you to flatten files fully automated, handling both CMYK and spot colors, while keeping most raster, vector and text elements intact. While pdfAutoOptimizer 2 overcomes most of Acrobat's limitations on top of fully automating the flattening process, callas pdfAutoOptimizer allows to maintain flexibility in design and safeguard investment from the past. |
Benefits
- Save time by automating PDF flattening
- Allows printers and publishers to accept files with transparencies without having to upgrade their entire output infrastructure
- Low investment in professional software prevents large investments for equipment update or replacement. Ideal pre- output specific conversion as far back as possible in the production process
- Reduce error levels by letting designers focus on design instead technical aspects of PDF delivery
- Enables designers to create one un-flattened PDF master and deliver standards-compliant PDFs according to the supplier’s needs
Key Features
- Highest quality live transparency flattening
- Handles drop shadows and masks, in both process color and spot color pages.

- Setting of blend color space used for transparency flattening. No forced conversions of spot colors to CMYK.
- Powerful color control, allowing removal of ICC profiles introduced during flattening.
- Improved JPEG compression handling to reduce artifacts.
- Professional automation capabilities.
- Make PDFs compliant with PDF/X standard –even PDFX/4- and get files ready for GWG recommendations.
