BOULDER, CO — (Marketwired) — 07/01/13 — Ricoh Production Print Solutions (), a leading provider of digital output solutions, today announced that it has further expanded its , empowering printers of all sizes with easy-to-use, cost-effective tools and solutions that verify that each piece was printed and track that each piece was confirmed with limited manual effort. The newest enhancement to is the Verification Feature. This easy-to-use feature enables customers to very simply add a unique barcode to documents that identifies each piece within a PDF file, and then integrates with scan or camera technology to track and report that each piece was properly produced — adding a level of integrity, which is particularly necessary when government regulations or privacy issues require perfect output.
TotalFlow DocEnhancer is an Adobe® Acrobat plug-in that enables customers to edit print-ready PDF files instantly directly on the shop floor. Now with the Verification Feature, printers can scan the barcode at any point during the production process to track progress, create a visual report showing the percent of job completion, reconcile pieces that are missing, and initiate a reprint job.
Other new features that have been added to TotalFlow DocEnhancer PDF plug-in include:
Rules Manager: offers enhanced conditional logic by allowing customers to easily build and edit complex statements. The rules can be applied to or extracted from the original PDF, allowing for greater flexibility with the data
Expanded font support: gives the ability to add text to PDF documents, utilizing any fonts installed on the operating system. TotalFlow DocEnhancer will embed the appropriate fonts in the enhanced PDF, maintaining portability of the document across systems and through the entire production process
Easy-to-use interface: gives users access to a drop-down menu of Adobe Acrobat Pro adding a new level of simplicity
