New Adobe PDF Print Engine Powers Next Generation PDF Workflows

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the Adobe® PDF Print Engine, new printing software technology that ensures print hardware can output Portable Document Format (PDF) files that include complex designs and effects, such as transparency, quickly, accurately and consistently. With the emergence of PDF as the industry-standard for delivering high quality printed content, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are integrating the Adobe PDF Print Engine into a new generation of printing products.

“Fueled by the rapid adoption of PDF in the graphic arts industry, Adobe PDF Print Engine is the building block for our partners to deliver a new era in high quality print workflows,” said Shantanu Narayen, president and chief operating officer at Adobe. “Adobe continues to innovate in core printing technology because, even in our highly digitized world, the printed page remains integral to how content is delivered and consumed.”

Today’s feature-rich design software lets users develop very complex artwork, which creates ever increasing challenges for print production workflows, such as meeting tight deadlines and accommodating last-minute changes while consistently producing high-quality results. Realizing more efficient print workflows and better automation requires print systems built on industry standards. For example, maintaining jobs in Adobe PDF format at the highest abstraction level, without conversions, and capturing process information in the industry standard Job Definition Format (JDF) throughout the workflow helps eliminate unexpected rework and enables late-stage changes of content or output intent.
