Adobe PDF Print Engine
Powering the next generation of PDF workflows
The Adobe® PDF Print Engine is a next-generation printing platform that is based on the same PDF technology as Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Creative Suite software. It allows PDF files to be rendered natively throughout the workflow, eliminating the need to flatten transparent artwork, and enables a complete, end-to-end PDF workflow that uses common technology to generate, preview, and print PDF files.
The Adobe PDF Print Engine combines the strengths of Adobe PDF for content definition and the JDF standard for job ticketing and process control in powering RIP and workflow systems. Available in printing systems from Adobe partners, it enhances output consistency throughout the workflow, improving overall print productivity and profitability.
