Key Features of Thrive Adobe PDF Print Engine and Normalizer Network Based Site Licensing Thrive Production Manager Hot Backup Option ONYX Connect™

Adobe PDF Print Engine and Normalizer The PDF Print Engine shares the same core components as the Adobe authoring suite color management, graphics engine, transparency handling, imaging, etc. This translates to better predictability and workflow consistency.

Adobe PDF Print Engine and Normalizer Thrive uses the Adobe PDF Print Engine for converting PDF/PS/EPS document files into pixels for the purposes of printing. The Adobe PDF Print Engine is a native PDF Interpreter and pixel rasterizer. It utilizes the same interpreting libraries utilized by Adobe products like Acrobat, and Illustrator. Adobe PDF Print Engine is optimized for large rendering of print ready data. The Adobe PDF Print Engine has been integrated with the ONYX Color and image processing libraries.

Adobe PDF Print Engine and Normalizer For PS/EPS documents the Adobe PDF Print Engine module in Thrive has been equipped to use the Adobe Normalizer technology to first convert the postscript code into PDF before it is interpreted and rendered by the Adobe PDF Print Engine. The use of the Adobe Normalizer is automatic and requires no user intervention There are no controls associated with the use of Normalizer The first time a PS/EPS file is rendered the Adobe PDF Print Engine UI will first invoke Normalizer (with the status of Normalizing) The converted PDF file is internally stored in the job, and subsequent processing of the job will not invoke the Normalizer stage. Generally the normalization process is quick. Large PS/EPS files will take longer.
