pdfLayerMaker
Levels now directly in the PDF from Adobe Acrobat generate
With pdfLayerMaker introduces callas completely new tools whose possibilities you had to renounce up to now. The tool closes a known and often demanded functional gap in Adobe Acrobat the possibility to generate levels directly in PDFs. pdfLayerMaker there is topically for Acrobat 6, a version will be also available for the announced Acrobat 7. The plug in can be installed under Mac OS X as well as under Windows 2000 and XP.
Till present PDF knew no levels at most those which were taken over from other uses with the PDF export with (e.g., from InDesign CS). However, up to now there was no possibility to generate levels in an available PDF from existing objects. "Acrobaten" can change this now with pdfLayerMaker in comfortable way: Objects can be arranged according to different criteria at levels and administer quite simply and in very fast ones. The "Ebenen PDFs" generated with it can be stored away and used even with the free Adobe Reader (6 or 7) about the integrated level announcement. I.e. the invested levels are "right" Acrobat levels which can be also faded in or fade out without pdfLayerMaker with the Standard Acrobat to products.
Side objects like texts, graphics, pictures, colours, colour rooms or transparencies lays callas pdfLayerMaker on the basis of provided profiles in each case on own levels which can be faded in or faded out afterwards straight. Own profiles can be also used even on the basis of existing Preflight profiles from Acrobat as level profiles. As in photo shop and InDesign these can be faded in and fade out, extinguished, infer with each other, join and in every arrangement are economical.
Additional insertable background levels, as grid lines or coloured surfaces, provide for lighter identifying of objects. Besides, the original file is preserved always consistently, because pdfLayerMaker every new level combination always puts in as a PDF copy. Two main areas of application arise from this functionality for these tools:
1. Intelligent PDF level production
Automatic putting on of levels according to special colours, e.g., for complicated plans, illustrations etc.
Isolate or specific removing from side objects like Stanzformen or fold brands
Emphasise of white or very bright objects by connecting coloured background levels
2. PDF analysis
adaptable analysing of production critical PDF aspects, e.g., for
Announcement of certain writings or type faces (CID Fonts, not embedded writings)
Announcement of objects after colour rooms
Announcement of SmoothShades, clear objects, hair lines, überdruckenden objects and more.
The example files contained in the pdfLayerMaker package and profiles make the entrance in the PDF level world the childs play and lend additional push in the direction of indispensable production tools to Adobe Acrobat.
