Enfocus Instant PDF 4 makes producing press-ready PDFs easy for creative professionals. Using award-winning Enfocus Certified PDF® technology, it’s the simplest and most reliable way to create PDFs that comply with your print or advertisement vendors’ specifications.

While working in your favorite creative application - Adobe® InDesign®, Adobe® Illustrator®, QuarkXPress™, Adobe® Acrobat® - simply select "Save as Certified PDF..." from the File menu and let Instant PDF 4 take care of creating your PDF, preflighting it, modifying it where necessary, and even sending it to your print provider - all without leaving your application! As a creative professional, you can now remain productive in your familiar environment without having to worry about print styles, PDF export or other complicated PDF creation settings. And if you do run into problems, Instant PDF 4’s comprehensive in-application help not only gives you the answers you need quickly, but also contains tips on how to avoid making the same mistakes again in the future.

So who takes care of the technical stuff? Instant PDF 4 is unique in that it allows pre-press experts to define PDF Queues that contain all the PDF creation settings required for outputting quality PDFs. PDF Queues can be distributed as files or published on CertifiedPDF.net from where designers can automatically import them into Instant PDF 4. The built-in synchronization feature with CertifiedPDF.net guarantees imported PDF Queues remain up-to-date, ensuring ongoing consistency with your printer, publisher or industry association specification, including PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and Ghent PDF Workgroup. All of which means that once a PDF Queue is imported, document creators are ready to produce press-ready PDFs without agonizing over the technical aspects of PDF file creation.

For print providers, Instant PDF 4 significantly reduces the load on customer service and pre-press operators because Certified PDF files are always output correctly right at the designer’s workstation. With award-winning Enfocus Certified PDF® technology, the files are flagged as ready for output from the moment they arrive in your inbox.
