What it does
callas pdfToolbox checks and corrects production PDFs. It supports preflight profiles, conditional process plans, colour processing, print marks, conversion, and several automation interfaces.
Build a profile from the actual production requirements, then route files according to its checks. Server hot folders can separate successful files from jobs needing attention, while process plans add conditional steps. Desktop previews and separation views help inspect print problems. The tool uses ICC or DeviceLink profiles but does not create them. Desktop, Server, CLI and SDK serve different deployment needs; the vendor offers a fourteen-day trial for each.
