PDF Standardizer offers a simple and reliable way to create PDFs that comply to PDF standards such as ISO 15930-1 PDF/X1-a and Ghent PDF Workgroup (GWG) specifications as well as to colour standards such as ISO 12647. PDF Standardizer is a complete solution that combines the functionalities of Alwan CMYK Optimizer, Enfocus FullSwitch and Enfocus PitStop Server. PDF Standardizer is a fully integrated software solution and is not a bundle—it has a single installer and a single product key for all three components. It has a unique wizard to configure each flow as well as the flow’s PDF and colour settings. Designed to be a simple out-of-the box solution, it caters to PDF creators as well as PDF receivers. Designers and prepress bureaus pass PDF files they produce through PDF Standardizer before sending them to their printers and publishers. PDF Standardizer ensures that files match ISO colour standards and GWG specifications and generally ensures that PDFs can be reproduced without colour or transparencies interpretation problems. Publishers, prepress bureaus and printers that receive PDFs from a wide variety of sources use PDF Standardizer to ensure that PDFs are print-ready (PDF/X and GWG compliant) and have a consistent and standardised colour content. Making PDFs consistent and standardised allows for a smoother and problem-free processing later in the workflow.

The most important ones are: • Creating print-ready PDFs
PDF Standardizer creates Certified PDFs that comply with ISO 15930-1 PDF/X1-a and Ghent PDF Workgroup standards and whose colour content comply with ISO ISO 12647 colour standards. A series of automated analysis and correction steps are performed by PDF Standardizer in order to make incoming PDFs compliant. • Simple to use
Configuring PDF Standardizer is done using two convenient wizards. Users need to answer few basic questions which will allow PDF Standardizer to identify the right preflight parameters, colour settings and certification profiles to use. A second wizard configures PDF Standardizer to retrieve files from hotfolder, email and FTP and sort them depending on filename convention. • Powerful workflow automation
PDF Standardizer contains the complete FullSwitch functionality. Users can go beyond the workflows setup using the wizards and define their own workflows, routing files and drive other applications as in FullSwitch. • Quality control mode in the LAN
The features mentioned above allow PDF Standardizer to be installed on one computer on the local network. Users copy their PDFs to that computer and PDF Standardizer will create the normalised files or generate reports that indicate what the problems are. Users can then pickup the results from this “quality-mode”. PDF Standardizer is a complete solution that combines the functionalities of Alwan CMYK Optimizer, Enfocus FullSwitch and Enfocus PitStop Server.
