The Certified-PDF-compatible software handles editorial changes, pre-press preparation and pre-flighting. Its tools allow users to alter much more than text, with features such as image editing, resizing and object manipulation. All changes are made in PDF format and automatically added to the certified file.
Its editing functions let users rework characters, words and paragraphs and change images before saving them straight back into the original PDF.
The software also features object manipulation tools meaning that bleed, size, alignment and colour can easily be altered using familiar page make-up tools. More detailed pre-press changes can also be made such as to blending modes, separations, spot colours, page boxes and overprints.
Once the file is ready for press, Enfocus Neo carries out pre-flighting. Users simply save the PDF and choose the profile that they want to test against. The file is then checked by the pre-flighting engine.
After this, a detailed status report is issued to ensure that the file is press-ready.
Neo is available in two versions: with or without trapping. Prices begin at £2,000 (€3,000). A full version can also be downloaded for a one-month trial from the firm’s website.
