TESTIMONIALS

Herber Mahler
Manager IT – Ast&Fischer AG, Wabern

As head of IT at Ast & Fischer AG, I really appreciate the PDFX-ready guidelines for internal training. It clearly shows and explains the complex PDF workflow. The provided recipes with the corresponding export settings and check profiles are also practical. These are also very helpful for our customers.

Markus Rosenberger
Manager Prepress, Spühler Druck AG

Thanks to the predefined output settings, uniform PDF creation is very easy for all employees. The installations and the use of the settings are always up-to-date and described. With the additional services of the online tools, data verification is simplified even more and I get detailed information about used separations in delivered PDF files.

As part of the standardization of the exchange of print PDFs, the association PDFX-Ready offers valuable work in the implementation and creation of preflight profiles as well as the export styles of Adobe Creativ Suite on the basis of the valid ISO standard. Linkgroup AG has been using the preflight profiles for Acrobat and CallasToolbox developed and made available by PDFX-Ready for many years. We also appreciate the easy-to-understand and detailed information brochures on this topic.
