Heidelberg Prinect PDF Toolbox 2019 version 20.00.003

Show Effects
- Version 2019 of the Prinect PDF Toolbox has a completely new tool. This makes it possible to visualize special surfaces like foils, varnish and embossing. See Show Effects.
Barcode & VDP Editor
- Modifications for the (renamed) iVDP Labelfire workflow:
·"Target System" checkbox > "Labelfire" renamed to "iVDP Labelfire"
·"PDF/VT" tab renamed to "iVDP" if "iVDP Labelfire" enabled
·"Check" in the "iVDP" tab checks incompatible settings on Labelfire
·In the "iVDP" tab, automatic correction of the iVDP Labelfire issues is possible with the "Correct" button. In return, there is no PDF/VT generation in this mode.
·The substitute rule is no longer set individually for each "Counter" or "Field" placeholder but is applicable globally for all placeholders.
·Corrected verification and display of the fonts available for Labelfire.
- The new checkbox, "iVDP Labelfire", matches the view in the tabs for creating iVDP files to avoid a PDF/VT from being generated inadvertently.
- When you open a file containing variable placeholders, the Barcode & VDP Editor starts auto­matically if this option was set. See "Autostart" checkbox.
- You can duplicate text and barcodes on multiple pages with Copy & Paste (context-sensitive menu).
- For 2D barcodes (QR and Data Matrix), a check is run to see whether the box for the intended symbol size is big enough. If this is not the case, an error message is issued.
- Line spacing can be set for dynamic text. See Line Spacing.
- For dynamic time marks, a format showing the seconds can also be selected.
- A preview of the data record is also available in the "Text" and "Barcode" tabs.
- You can decide whether the placeholders of a set CSV file can be seen and used in the VDP Edi­tor. There is a new checkbox for this.
- It is now possible to assign different data records to placeholders on the same page. Up to now, a new page was created for each data record. Now, for example, different 1ups can be output to a sheet PDF.
- Contents of 2D barcodes (QR and Data Matrix) can now also be entered in hexadecimal encod­ing to support any binary data like, for example, Data Matrix address code formats used by the Deutsche Post (German postal service).
- A warning is issued if a CSV file that is not located in a share is selected.
- Support of the Tab character as a delimiter in CSV files.
Color Editor Color Management
- Images with "Color Key Masking" (masking of single image pixels via color values) can now be converted to the target profile.
Color Editor Spot Colors
- When test charts are created, the names of the spot colors can now also display in full and not just as a color code.
- The interconnection between the Prinect PDF Toolbox and the Prinect Cockpit is enhanced. Pri­nect color tables can now also be modified from the PDF Toolbox:
·Delete
·Change search order
·Change usage
·Change contents for CMYK, Hexachrome or ICC-based Multicolor tables
·Create CMYK, Hexachrome or ICC-based Multicolor tables
- Color tables in the central folder can now also be modified. The slight risk of two users modifying the same table from different computers and disturbing each other in the process continues to be the responsibility of the user.
Geometry Control
- New tab, "Bleed". This makes it possible to automatically supplement a missing bleed. In con­trast to the function already available in a subtab of the PDF Report, the result displays imme­diately in this case.
- It is now possible to remove old marks and automatically delete marks that are out of the trim box.
- Blank pages that are inserted to a PDF/VT document using Geometry Control are placed accord­ingly in all data records.
Object Editor
- Text that was converted to a graphic can now be broken down again. This is done with the "Ungroup Text/Graphic" item in the context-sensitive menu.
PDF Compare
- Display of the differences relating to plate reuse determined in the Prinect Cockpit.
Assemble Pages
- "Multiply" color blending can be used when merging pages. As a result, all knockout effects on elements lying lower down are avoided.
Trap Editor
- Contents of transparency groups can now be trapped. This works for elements within the group and also for traps between groups or page elements lying lower down.
Versioning Assistant
- The new function, "Merge Base and Versions", prevents knockout effects from occurring if black of the version is to be merged with black of the base. "Multiply" color blending is used when merging base and version.
- In the case of separated data, the "Remove White Graphics" option hides white pixels (all sepa­rations 0%) in images. This avoids unwanted masking in the base that can occur, for example, when reducing transparency in the versioned data.
- There is now a button that brings you out of the Versioning Assistant back to file selection. .
- Any differences found during a comparison are highlighted by a border.
