Agfa Graphics today announced that its :ApogeeX prepress production software will support Adobe’s PDF Print Engine technology. Agfa Graphics has worked with Adobe since the conception of the new technology to ensure that it can be seamlessly integrated into :ApogeeX, thereby protecting the investments of customers.

"Agfa Graphics congratulates Adobe on their announcement of the PDF Print Engine: this is the next stage in automating pre-press," said Richard Barham, VP of marketing for Agfa Graphics. "We have been strong partners with Adobe since the early days of PDF and JDF, and are proud to move forward with Adobe and to adopt PDF Print Engine for our market leading workflow :ApogeeX and :Delano project management system."

The Adobe PDF Print Engine is a component that fits perfectly into the modular :ApogeeX architecture. After the process of integration with other :ApogeeX components and third-party software packages, the system will be subjected to an extensive beta programme before final release. :ApogeeX customers will be offered a software upgrade programme to benefit from the PDF Print Engine when available.
