Two (2) color job, file never sent to size. PDFToolbox 12 is so huge, I have yet to scratch the surface.Īffinity Publisher, I get a particular kind of file that is a pain in the neck to get into production. I like the fact that it is stand alone program.

It has an imposition program too, breaking reader spreads is a great feature. The 'create' bleed is fantastic!! The white background builder is pretty awesome too.

I do a lot of making spot colors on common plate (jet presses have the ability). What I am trying to do with it is make the program respond to 'Spotify' up to 4 common spot colors. It's a huge program, am trying to get it to do several things, including process to spot (I do prepress for an envelope printing and files come in all sorts of kaka).

I have bought and regularly use, Affinity Publisher for PDF editing (lost causes, but it's really done great) I also use Softmaker Flexi PDF (subscription was 35 bux for a year), and I love Qoppa PDF Studio, it has several things that make it incredible, including editing and saving password protected PDFs (a cinch!) reversal of pages, and general editing, the Imposing feature is as good as EFI Fiery at 1/50th of the cost.

I stay away from subscription software as much as possible. I am going to take a closer look at pdfToolbox. So, pdfToolbox would be a ideal replacement. As I found out Adobe licensed parts of Callas preflight engine and their preflight menus look almost identical.

Adobe's Acrobat Pro 2017 single licence cost is within the same $500 price range.

With Adobe's Cloud subscription introduction, Adobe also dropped the price tag for the Acrobat DC. I have spent so much money on Adobe CS and Acrobat DC is getting worse.

reliable color management and full support for ISO PDF standards. It lacks Preflight functionalities.Īcrobat DC Preflight feature is the only missing link to me e.g.

I have also tested Nuance Power PDF for Mac which is a nice but limited PDF editor. Both are products are used in print houses and big publishing houses. Pitstop and pdfToolbox seems to be the only 'real' alternatives for reliable print preflight jobs. I stumbled upon your highly interesting discussion while searching for a Acrobat Pro alternative. I have even grown to like the name in that it may confuse some Microsoft Publisher users to accidentally start using Serif Publisher. At first I didn't understand the very low pricing that Serif was doing but now it makes sense. Since the work in my company needs to pass by me the more expensive product (pdfToolbox) only needs to be installed on my machine. I like how Serif keeps the price low which allows for workflows like installing it on non-designers computers as I mentioned a couple days ago. I wanted to know have other people found that those two products work really well together? Publisher is the only tool in the suite I haven't explored extremely in depth and I haven't even installed pdfToolbox yet. That one perspective alone almost justified it's $500+ price tag. One comment was unexpected in that they pointed out that the tool is especially good for adding to a Publisher workflow in that it hasn't been around as long and may need a little more help than mature products like Quark and InDesign. Precisely, in this example, we have implemented a rather complex process, and the representation of the process plan is not the easiest to follow (and what about the modifications, rather tedious to carry out).A couple days ago I asked about the value of pdfTool in a Quark forum. We demonstrated this by taking the concept to the extreme in our previous edition of Tech Mondays (if you missed this post, now is the time to go, we are convinced that you will enjoy it and that it will give you new ideas!) Our favorite feature of pdfToolbox is undoubtedly the process plans, which allows to conditionally chain checks, fix-ups, actions, variables, etc.

We will focus on a few functions that we find particularly interesting. What does callas offer us this year with this new version? This major version brings so many new features that it is difficult to cover everything here. Callas software has just released the new version of its flagship software, pdfToolbox.
