Webinar - Building a pdfToolbox Place Content template from scratch

The place content technology in pdfToolbox uses HTML templates to determine what gets added to your PDF documents. Creating such a template for the first time can be a bit of a challenge, even if you have some understanding of HTML, CSS and Javascript. In this webinar, we’ll go through a number of very simple examples to show the basic principles of these templates and to get you going. Once you understand those principles, it will be much easier to understand how to build your own templates and

Tutorial - Create a TAC DeviceLink profile

DeviceLink profiles complement the use of normal ICC device profiles; making it possible to specifically circumvent the weaknesses of color conversions based on an ICC device profile for certain tasks.

You need your own DeviceLink profiles if you use in-house standars, papers that deviate from the standard, or certain TAC.

In this tutorial I adapt the total amount of color (TAC) to printing-specific requirements without altering the color impression by creating an own DeviceLink profile for a

Tutorial - Create a SaveInk DeviceLink profile

One important application of DeviceLink profiles is saving ink while retaining the visual color impression. Today, SaveInk (or sometimes referred to as ink optimization) is a popular application for saving ink and enhancing quality in standardized offset, gravure and newspaper printing. This application in large-format printing is relatively new, but should be evaluated for cutting the cost of ink consumption.

In this tutorial I create a SaveInk DeviceLink profile that has a Total Amount of Col
