From Check List to PDF Options
More than a decade ago Chuck Weger coined the term “preflight” to define
the verification process of digital files prior to printing. Since then, this
process or “check list” has materialized into integrated PDF options,
plug-ins, and standalone products.
Automated Batch Processing
Unlike integrated options and plug-ins, PDF Analyzer can be installed on a
server to perform the preflight of large numbers of documents as an automated
batch process (Figure 1) without user interaction.

PDF Analyzer validates the structure of PDF documents with customizable
VB.NET rule sets (Figure 2) to ensure that the structure of documents comply
with industry or custom specifications.

Customized VB .NET rules can be created, saved, and reloaded to verify that:

In our previous post we looked at how Manage File Tools (MFT) have become
useful alternatives to send files compared to FTP and email applications. In
this article we shall look at how PDF Courier can guarantee the delivery of
your important documents and how it can prevent your attachments from being
blocked by email Spam filters.
Over the years, Spam emails have dramatically increased. This is due to the
proliferation of private and corporate personal information online. The
result, are individuals unnecessarily and aggressively targeted by
unsolicited emails, usually from unk... (more)
In a previous article, we reviewed the benefits and uses of PDF metadata.
Specifically, we looked at the emergence of XMP metadata as a potential
standardization for metadata frameworks and at how it can help PDF developers
store, exchange, track, and retrieve information. In this article we will
explore the injection of custom XMP metadata tags into existing PDF/A
documents.
PDF/A and XMP: Inevitable Convergence
In 2001, developers recognized the need to add their own customized XMP
metadata tags to PDF documents. They understood that by adding their own
information, they could... (more)
Ever since the PDF's payload began carrying images, file size quickly became
an issue. As people began adding larger and larger images into their PDF it
took longer to transmit these files and the space in which they were stored
filled up faster. Luckily image compression technologies were never far
behind to help alleviate these problems. One such technology is JBIG2, a
bi-level (black/white) image compression format introduced by the Joint
Bi-level Image Experts Group.
Unlike previous image compression formats (including its predecessor JBIG1)
JBIG2 uses an intelligent algorit... (more)
