Neo
Neo is a highly productive and cost-effective editing and correction tool for multipage native PDF files. Source documents are often not available, so for last minute corrections there is only one solution: to edit the native PDF file as
quickly as possible. Any user dealing with PDF will see Neo as a formidable asset in drastically reducing the approval
and correction cycles, unavoidable in today’s demanding prepress environments.
Accurate Viewing and High Performance Editing
Neo provides true and uncompromising preview of the
PDF file, exactly as it will be printed. To inspect the file
in detail, Neo offers an unlimited zoom, fast switching to
outline preview, viewing of separations, transparencies,
overprints, total area coverage, etc... Accurate measuring tools as well as an on-screen
densitometer are available to quickly establish the dot percentages that will appear
on plate. In Neo, any object is easily accessible and editable. Its contents can be verified and modified in every
possible way. Quickly change colors, add strokes, modify clip paths, fix page boxes, and as Neo is fully PDF
1.7 compliant, work with layers or even modify shadows and transparencies. Even PitStop action lists can be
executed on the fly, allowing for extensive automated modifications to your multipage PDF file.

Full text access
Neo has a full-fledged text editor on board, working right on your native
PDF file. Neo not only gives access to characters, words or text lines,
but even paragraphs are recognized on the fly. As such, it becomes a
snap to edit your text with paragraph reflow or change the justification.
It is even possible to link different text blocks on the page together!
Transform objects - Edit images
In Neo, any object can be moved, scaled or rotated interactively or by numbers
through the comprehensive transformation palette, even by using magnetism.
By using the align tools, multiple objects can swiftly be aligned or distributed.
Neo also offers the capability of using an image editing application to edit your
image content. Saving the image simply transfers the modifications straight back
into the PDF document in Neo. And if complete pictures need to be replaced,
just select them in Neo, point to the new image or image version on disk, and the image appears
straight in the PDF file again, maintaining position, scaling and rotation.
Document Resources
With Neo, controlling your resources (separations, images and fonts) becomes
easier than ever before. Add separations to your PDF document, convert sepa-
rations to CMYK, or easily access images and fonts. Images can be converted
using ICC profiles and even text content can be checked.
Interactive Trapping
Neo also contains an optional interactive trapping module, which allows for
comprehensive trapping of the objects on the page. Through the immediate
visual feedback the operator can determine if the trapping fits his purpose, and
make changes if required. If the file contains traps, the
trapping module can be used to retrap objects after they
have been edited. Complete objects can be trapped to the
background or object to object trapping can be used.
Preflight and Save as Certified PDF
After editing, Neo saves the edits back to the PDF file, only touching the modified objects.
As such, even non-printing objects like metadata are kept in the PDF file. Whilst saving, the
operator can chose to preflight his file with an Enfocus PDF profile, and even completely
work within the Enfocus Certified PDF workflow. Neo will save all the modifications to a
Certified PDF session in the PDF file, so all modifications can be tracked using the History
palette in Neo or within PitStop Professional. Additionally, it is even possible to flatten the
file, if transparencies are present. |
