Heidelberg Delta to PDF/X Workflow - PDFxMaker

The keys to a productive and profitable production environment are simplicity, reliability, functionality and ease of use. PDFxMaker is a simple addition to your existing Heidelberg Delta Rip workflow environment that opens the door to new opportunities. PDFxMaker can be as simple a tool as an archive tool, as important a tool as a connectivity piece in everyday production, or a profitable tool – creating final distribution PDF/X files instead of or in conjunction with your existing plate or film production.

PDFxMaker files are perfect for your production PDF file needs. They can be used for most any type of production purposes for example:

   Remote Production, probably the most widely publicized use of PDF/X files is for the purpose of digital distribution of advertising for publication (DDAP). The PDF/X-1a variant is a widely accepted ISO standard file format used throughout the publication industry.
   Remote Proofing, your Delta system is great for internal production but it doesn’t offer much in the way of remote data viewing. PDF files though can be opened by anyone and PDFxMaker files offer full res data access in a compact easy to use form. Use then stand alone or in conjunction with any automated remote proofing system.
    Workflow Connectivity while in production with your Delta workflow – you must be considering the next step in your workflow upgrade path. Most certainly you are considering a PDF workflow upgrade and PDFxMaker is the bridge between today’s production jobs and tomorrow’s new production workflow.
   Archiving, don’t risk your important work by storing it in a proprietary format such as a Delta job. Store your production jobs in the open PDF/X format and be assured that these jobs will be accessible, valuable, and usable for years to come! Save significant archive space by archiving as PDF/X – typical savings are as much as 50% of the size of the original Delta job!
   Viewing and Checking , with PDFxMaker your jobs can be viewed by anyone in any location using standard Acrobat or PDF viewer tools. Being fully compliant with the PDF 1.3 format assures this.

And these are but a few of the many advantages of implementing PDFxMaker into your Delta production environment!
