Solimar Systems, Inc, provider of leading workflow software solutions for print production and digital communications, has announced the release of version 9.2 of its award-winning PDF optimisation solution, ReadyPDF Prepress Server. ReadyPDF 9.2 offers many enhancements to its current features and new additions to boost functionality and improve user experience. The improvements include a streamlined configuration, additional discard object options, ReadyPDF job property variables, expanded optimization settings, pre-defined modes for various activities, greater optimisation report functionality, and the addition of a new preflight mode.
With a focus on user experience, ReadyPDF 9.2 includes updates to its user interface that simplify the setup and configuration of jobs. The configuration now has multiple options for users to select pre-configured optimization settings that aid in onboarding new work and boosting productivity.
The new Preflight Mode in ReadyPDF can detect certain characteristics, such as missing or subset fonts, and will apply appropriate optimizations. It also identifies and removes redundant and unnecessary resources, such as empty XObjects, which increases processing speeds and shrinks file sizes. Another new ReadyPDF 9.2 feature includes a Job Redirection function that detects certain characteristics within a PDF, such as font and colour properties, and can reroute those to specific configuration profiles designed to optimize those characteristics.
Also notable is the Discard Objects option in version 9.2. Discard Objects is designed to remove unnecessary information for the presentation or viewing of the document. Additional discardable options have been added to further decrease file sizes and create simpler documents. These objects include unused images, unused forms, invisible text, popup annotations, and more.
One Solimar customer reaping the rewards of these new features is DataProse. By utilising ReadyPDF among other solutions in the Chemistry platform, it has been able to optimise its e-presentment files and reduce sizes dramatically. “With ReadyPDF, we are able to reduce file sizes by 95 per cent, which streamlines our print output but also creates an optimized file for e-presentment online,” shares Brian Ray, chief technology officer, DataProse. In addition to file size reductions and file optimisations, ReadyPDF has increased overall productivity and seen a huge ROI while increasing customer satisfaction.
“We’re thrilled with the benefits our customers realise with the latest version of our ReadyPDF Prepress Server,” says Mary Ann Rowan, chief experience officer at Solimar Systems. “Along with correcting fonts, images, color and structural issues in PDFs, ReadyPDF creates clean live data and detailed before and after optimization reports that can boost overall workflow productivity processes.”
