Dear Listmembers,
Among the automated color conversion servers, such as ICC AutoFlow,
iQueue, etc, is any of them configurable to do the following: ?
- watch a hotfolder for PDFs to arrive
- colormanage the PDF to a target device (ie source swop, target
tektronix)
- print the PDF to the target device (in postscript)
- delete the intermediate (colormanaged) PDF.
in other words, I want to place a correction between the PDF and the
printer.
An alternative would be to use something like CrackerJack Pilot to watch
the hotfolder and print the PDF to postscript, and use a colormanager in
postscript between that and the printer; such as Parachute. Does
BatchMaker PS or Autoflow or other work inline directly to the printer
without saving intermediate (colormanaged) results?
now that I think of it, I could just manage folder-to-folder in PDF and
use Crackerjack at the end folder to print. But the great thing would be
to use a single product that manages folder(pdf)-to-printer(ps); does
such beast exist?
thanks in advance,
