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. Figure 1: Automated Preflight 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. Figure 2: VB .NET Rule Sets Customized VB .NET rules can be created, saved, and reloaded to verify that: PDF document object instructions, s... (more)

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)

JBIG2: How PDFs and Developers Benefit

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)
