Businesses and government agencies all over the world rely on callas software’s future-proof, fully PDF/A compliant archiving products.

In addition, callas software technology is available as a programming library (SDK) for developers with a need for PDF optimization, validation and correction. Software vendors such as Adobe®, Quark®, Xerox® and many others have understood the quality and flexibility provided by these callas tools and have incorporated them into their solutions.

The core PDF and font libraries in pdfToolbox have received a major update to improve speed and reliability of processing troublesome PDF files. The more compact and adjustable preflight report improves clear communication with customers, and the operator checkpoints allow manual intervention in automated workflows.

Some new features include:

  • Manual intervention in automated workflows
  • New generation PDF transparency flattening and font library
  • New preflight report
  • PDF file cleanup for print and mobile production workflows
  • Advanced preflight check
  • And more!
pdfToolbox Desktop 7

callas pdfToolbox offers powerful PDF preflight and correction. Problem files can be fixed during preflight or with a click of the button in the Switchboard. Flattening transparency, converting fonts to outlines, inserting trim and bleed boxes to match printer marks, converting office documents or even PostScript files directly into PDF, comparing versions of PDF files, visualizing ink coverage… no task is too difficult for callas pdfToolbox.

Imagine a solution for your PDF problems
Working with PDF files has solved a lot of problems in today's workflows, probably also in your workflow. Unfortunately it has not resolved all problems. pdfToolbox from callas software has been designed to find those problems and fix them in the quickest and easiest way. How efficient is that!

Spot the differences
Do you have two versions of a PDF file and you need to know all of the differences between those files? Or do you have a PDF file you simply have to embed a font in, but you want to be reassured doing so didn't change the file?

callas pdfToolbox has a visual compare feature making file comparisons incredibly easy by masking what is the same in both files and highlighting the changes in red. Now you can be sure that you have seen all changes to your files and approve them as you wish.

Control quality
Adobe licensed the preflight engine embedded in callas pdfToolbox for use in Adobe Acrobat Pro. You can create your own quality control rules or you can simply adopt those developed by standards organizations such as the ISO or the GWG.

And with full support of the Proof of Preflight standard developed by the GWG, callas pdfToolbox will protect your preflighted files with a digital signature . This way you can easily prove that the file you delivered was indeed good.

Inspect visually
Sometimes PDF files will fail quality control, but you need to know whether they will actually cause problems in production. callas pdfToolbox contains a unique "visualizer" mode that visually highlights the severity of problems such as ink coverage overruns, low resolution images and small text and line-art. How cool is that!

The errors are color-coded right on top of the actual document so that you can see where those problems really are. With this information, you are able to intelligently decide whether the file will be useable or if you need a new version.

Create good PDF files
What if your client sends you a Microsoft Word file? Or an EPS or PostScript file? callas pdfToolbox can automatically convert Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher and Visio files into quality PDF files for you. How easy is that!

OpenOffice documents are fully supported on Mac, Windows and Linux, as well as Pages on Mac OS X. Using the integrated Adobe engine, callas pdfToolbox even does quality conversion of EPS and PostScript files for you, without having Acrobat Distiller installed.

Impose yourself
How about doing simple imposition tasks, such as making booklets or doing a step-and-repeat? callas pdfToolbox does that seamlessly taking a PDF file generated with spreads and splitting it into single pages for example. More complicated imposition schemes can be created and applied as well and of course they can also be automated using callas pdfToolbox Server.

Automation you said?
So what if you have more than just a sporadic PDF file you need to work on? callas pdfToolbox Desktop offers a neat batch feature that lets you run a quality control profile or a PDF fix-up on a whole folder of files - easy to use and lightning quick.
