PDF Magick - New High Performance PDF Manipulation and Printing software available.
This software will be of great interest to
Reprographics shops or anyone else that is serious about manipulating or
printing PDF files in a professional environment. It is designed to work with
largeformat or smallformat, black & white or colour content and devices,
regardless of manufacturer.
The software is based on a unique PDF
processing idea that no other currently available commercial Reprographics
software can offer. The author claims that it will outperform any known
software by a far margin. It has been tested with metric and imperial files and
on most common devices in North America and Europe and it has already proven
itself at a large Reprographic Company in Canada and another shop in Germany. A
full review is available upon request.
