pdfPreviewMaker – release of updated version
callas software announces the release of a new version of pdfPreviewMaker,
a plug-in for Adobe Acrobat that creates previews and thumbnails from PDF
pages. This new version is now available at a price of US$/EURO 249 per
single user license.
The new release of pdfPreviewMaker offers the user an interface for manual
processing. At the same time, pdfPreviewMaker can be driven by AutoPilot
and thus can be fully integrated into an automated PDF workflow.
What is pdfPreviewMaker? pdfPreviewMaker creates previews and thumbnails of
PDF pages, either in BMP (Windows bitmap) or JPEG format. All settings for
the creation of previews (including file format, size, resolution and
destination folder) can be customized. When processing multiple page PDF
files, the previews automatically get an index number in their file name.
AutoPilot compatibility
In high volume working areas pdfPreviewMaker can be fully integrated in
automated processes with AutoPilot, the open PDF Workflow solution. Through
a ‘hot folder’ mechanism, users can simply drop PDF files into any
designated folder and pdfPreviewMaker or any other AutoPilot complient tool
will do his job automatically without any need for the users intervention.
AutoPilot is a high-performance automation tool for professional publishing
with Adobe Acrobat. Users can configure customized queues by means of which
several AutoPilot-clompliant Acrobat Plug-ins can be started in sequence
for the processing of files. Processing stages such as the creation of
previews (pdfPreviewMaker), preflighting (pdfInspektor2), printing
(MadeToPrint) or trapping (SuperTrap – www.heidelberg.com) can be automated
with AutoPilot.

A new pricing structure applies for the new release of pdfPreviewMaker:
Single user license: 249 EURO/US$
5 user licence: 999 EURO/US$
10 user licence: 1,799 EURO/US$
A license of AutoPilot is needed in order to add automation power to the
creation of previews:
