    PRO Meta to PDF

    Crawford Technologies is helping many organizations deliver a variety of Xerox print documents over the Internet by transforming them using PRO Meta to the widely accepted Portable Document Format (PDF) product. Both Xerox LCDS and Metacode, including DJDE, formats are converted.This conversion process provides a smooth migration path for Xerox printer clients who want to add web delivery to their applications without making costly architecture changes.

    Superior font management is the key to providing a successful print transform program and PRO Meta to PDF provides the utmost ease of use for font utilization. Standard Xerox fonts are automatically mapped to standard Acrobat fonts. Custom fonts are automatically converted to PDF fonts. PRO Meta to PDF has the flexibility to map fonts to either standard PostScript/PDF Type 1 fonts or embedded Type 1 fonts for a clean look.

    PDF overlays can be used to emulate pre-printed form stock. This allows easy creation of watermarks allowing the full power of PDF to be utilized within legacy applications. This approach can be used to add full color graphics, web site links, java scripts and much more.

    With PRO Meta to PDF, any data in the print file can be used as a Bookmark and automatically organized into multiple levels, for easy navigation. Index rules can be set up, allowing indexing on multiple criteria. Further, Xerox highlight color functionality is fully supported.

    Further, the PRO Meta to PDF product optimizes the PDF by compressing all resources creating small and compact PDF files that can quickly be downloaded or routed on the Internet. The Xerox LCDS and Metacode formats, including DJDE, are converted. PRO Meta to PDF is often used by Web-based applications to convert Xerox files to PDF dynamically at retrieval time. The high-speed transformation performance of PRO Meta to PDF permits this dynamic conversion. This form of Web implementation saves significant data storage costs and costly batch transformation processing time.

    PRO Meta to PDF is the best transformation product because it provides the following:
  • Outstanding performance combined with exact font mapping and conversion.
  • High-quality web-ready and index compatible PDF files.
  • Full color overlays merged into PDF files during the transform process.
