Adobe Systems Inc. calls on callas software for PDF validation
The inventor of the PDF format—Adobe Systems—uses callas software’s complete and detailed validation technology in Adobe Acrobat Professional: Since Version 6, the preflight module has been an integral part of Adobe Acrobat Professional, ensuring PDF security in all professional PDF environments.
The accumulation of this know-how is not an accident: Olaf Drümmer, the founder of the company, recognized the potential of the PDF format early on. The PDF format started out on the road to success in the print industry. callas software’s first validation tools were also oriented towards the high quality requirements of this branch. As a German representative in ISO, Olaf Drümmer has significantly contributed to the adoption of the PDF/X standard for professional printing. Following the increase in the range of use of PDF, he then participated in work on the PDF/A standard for long-term archiving. As a result, new findings from the regular exchange of information with all of the experts involved in the standardization process are promptly incorporated into the PDF validation, optimization, and conversion technology offered by callas software.
