Pre-Flighting Files Before Sending To Printer

Enfocus Software has signed a worldwide OEM agreement with Vio Worldwide where Vio will integrate the Enfocus Pitstop Library with the Vio Certified Delivery (VCD) Agent.

Enfocus Software has signed a worldwide OEM agreement with Vio Worldwide where Vio will integrate the Enfocus Pitstop Library with the Vio Certified Delivery (VCD) Agent.

VCD is a drag and drop facility from the advertisers desktop, incorporating a certified pre-flighting and online delivery process.

The VCD Agent works with the Enfocus software to enable users to pre-flight files prior to submitting them to the printer or publisher.

The process begins with a single installation of the VCD agent, which now includes the latest Enfocus Pitstop Library.

Vio Worldwide developed a built-in delivery mechanism that offers drag-and-drop for sending files, such as advertisements, to the publisher.

An online verification process checks the advertisement against the latest library specifications on the publisher's server.

A report is generated if the advertisement passes the pre-flight and corresponds to the publisher's specification for their internal workflow.

A job ticket and JDF file are generated, and the file is transmitted to the publisher.

A green checkmark on the advertisement viewed within the Vio Worldwide digital workflow suite interface verifies that it is certified and ready for production.

The combined system provides correction tools within the preflight rules written according to application demands.

The integration allows Vio Worldwide users to extend the Enfocus certified PDF workflow to their clients' sites and facilitate effective pre-flighting services.

An additional benefit is access to CertifiedPDF.net, which allows users to update and source all types of profiles and action lists at the clients' sites.

That will ensure that the client is able to conform to the publisher's job specs.

Vio Worldwide users will gain increased productivity by receiving pre-flighted files along with JDF-based job tickets, delivered directly to a specified location within their production workflow.

Alan Darling, Executive Vice President of Vio, explained the significance of this technical pairing with Enfocus Software: "When the Certified PDF workflow is paired with the ability to acquire upstream, industry-standard metadata, it effectively closes the loop between the management of the work and the quality control of the files before the data actually comes through the door.

This is a major achievement." David van Driessche, CEO of Enfocus Software commented: "I am delighted with this agreement for many reasons.

While Vio Worldwide recognised the importance and value of our individual products, they also spotted the unique add-on value created by our product integration efforts.".
