basic architecture In general, the current market in the PDF workflow solution, the basic structure for a two-tier client / server or three-tier thin client systems, client / server system best suited to this kind of production environment, that is, the workflow of each and every are in the same position and the same network. With the distributed features (such as soft proofing and remote Web-based recognition) support, thin client systems for the distributed environment. Many of today's thin client systems, and even a number of individuals allowed access to the workflow via the Internet. Behind in these circumstances, each workflow system should have a stable and reliable database. Relational database is more than a week to deal with different types of living key pieces of printing production. Popular database systems (such as Oracle8i and MicrosoftSQL), provide the reporting and management tools, options, and can easily integrate with business systems. Workflow system can detect the nature of its structure. Even a small printing operation, but also across different servers can be assigned to different steps of the workflow system, which fill the needs of complex operations will not impede the¶°×other operations. In addition, the system should be able to load balance tasks, to complete a task and a single door access to two or more processor power. Apogee Agfa Corporation in 1997 announced by Apogee, is a kind of running on Windows NT on the basic client / server system. A-pogee workflow system include the following: PS and PDF files so that the standardization of PDF Pilot, handling operations identified by the user summons PDFRIP, as well as processed by the RIP file passed to the output device of the Apogee Print Drive. The system is subject to operational information for use Adobe PJTF, and it supports all of the pre-press steps, including image replacement (OPI). PDF Pilot standardization in the use of Apogee OPI advanced to deal with before, and then generate high-resolution images have been embedded in the PDF document. Apogee also includes companies from the pre-Enfocus Software. Now, Apogee Priat Drive can drive a high-end output devices and a printer. Agfa plans to drive multiple devices in future. The system is not based relational database, which limits its ability to integrate business systems. For example, tracking and reporting work through the text-based log files processed, it must be edited to provide a specific report. Future operations in support of summons based on XML format, will enable Apogee and business data exchange between systems possible. Prinergy August 1999, HeiDelberg and Creo co-release of its PDF workflow tools: Prinergy. As to enhance the Windows NT-based client / server system, Prinergy client Java-based interface that can access Windows and Macintosh workstations. On the server side, Prinergy have two components: Prinergy Refiner and Prinergy RenDerer. Prinergy Refiner standardized so that the documents came to carry out pre-inspection, according to the chosen color workflow and complement the implementation of the school to deal with¶°×. This is a summons to the processor through the combination of operating Prinergy Process plan to be identified. The system directly from PS, PDF, and compressed copy of the PS network file. CEPS Link with integrated, Priner-gy also accept TIFF / IT and CT / LW files. Processed documents, PDF version of the page will be able to send group Prinergy RenDerer, for output to digital proofer or other high-resolution equipment. Server architecture is divided into levels, a number of Refiner and Renderer configuration server can support the work distribution and load balancing. Prinergy use Oracle databases, tracking work flow throughout the operating information. Relational database system for workflow processing error correction. It can also be a third-party reports and instruments and systems integration to support the business process. |
