EFI integrates Adobe

EFI has planned to integrate Adobe PDF print engine into its next-generation Fiery System Software, which will allow Fiery technology customers to be able to output PDF files with faster processing and improved consistency with Adobe desktop applications, reports Graphicrepro.

Fiery customers who deploy the Adobe PDF print engine will benefit from greater compatibility between Adobe Acrobat and Fiery Raster Image Processor capabilities.

This integration will streamline digital hybrid environments, allowing for 'late-stage' content corrections, and enable job repurposing for output on different printing systems.
