PDF action lists in ArtPro

A new version of ArtPro+ which requires fewer clicks to complete tasks, features faster opening and saving of files with native PDF, and has faster trapping, has been launched by Esko.

With this software operators can build PDF Action Lists without any special know-how or IT skills: Do it once in the editor and then repeat many times to cope with repetitive tasks. This automated action gives every operator a productivity boost.

With a new font management connector for ArtPro+, users have immediate access to the fonts, to achieve quality output for designs. As a result, pre-press professionals can make real-time edits to fix critical, last-minute text changes, reducing expensive print errors and costly press delays.

In other pre-press editors, output for specific purposes, such as proof, reporting, production and finishing, require a variant of the master file. The software uses the intelligence of the CAD data to maintain only a single file for all output purposes, eliminating file duplication, errors, and the need for redundant tasks. The benefit is that everything is kept together in one file – the same file that is used to drive output.

ArtPro+ is part of the Esko Software Platform 2018, the latest version of Esko’s portfolio of integrated software solutions for design, pre-press, workflow automation, colour management and supply chain collaboration in the packaging, labels, display and sign markets.
