Berlin, October 21, 2015 – callas software, market leader for automated PDF quality control and archival solutions, just released version 8.1 of its pdfToolbox product line. pdfToolbox 8.1 now features soft proofing for multi-channel color and introduces “libraries” offering better organization of profiles.
pdfToolbox 8 introduced support for the creation of PDF/X-5n files, an ISO standard that is designed to support multi-channel color spaces in prepress data exchange. Now pdfToolbox can also do PDF/X-5n soft proofing.
Soft proofing of PDF/X-5n files enables color-accurate display of documents that use multi-channel ICC profiles. Multi-channel color is becoming increasingly important because more and more often printers use more than 4 colors on their digital presses. Another area where they are frequently used is packaging. The new soft proofing capabilities let users control color in different environments, which until now was only possible with highly specialized products.
The new feature is available in the standalone version of pdfToolbox 8.1 Desktop and in pdfToolbox 8.1 CLI, Server and SDK where soft proof images can be created.
If custom preflight or correction profiles are created, pdfToolbox 8.1 can make one’s life much easier with pdfToolbox libraries. In pdfToolbox 8.1 different profile libraries can be managed; each library can contain a different set of profiles, checks, fixups and all other supporting settings (such as HTML templates, color conversion settings etc…). Libraries can be imported and exported to be shared between users, and it’s easy to switch between libraries in pdfToolbox to quickly work on different projects.
