PDFLab is the engine that ensures every PDF file meets the highest standards of precision. With features such as color separation, pixel-by-pixel comparison, smart annotations, and ink coverage measurement, it streamlines critical design, printing, and quality-control workflows. The ideal tool for environments where visual and technical validation is essential.
PDFLab provides powerful annotation tools that allow users to create precise notes directly on the areas of a PDF that require modification. Each note is anchored to an exact location, making it easy for designers and reviewers to identify where changes are needed without ambiguity. These annotations are preserved and carried across document versions, ensuring clear communication throughout the revision process.
Additionally, PDFLab allows notes to be exported into the original PDF file, making feedback portable, traceable, and fully integrated into the document workflow.
PDFLab delivers advanced PDF comparison capabilities designed to reveal every change with absolute clarity. It allows users to compare documents using multiple methods — transparency overlays, dual-window views, intermittent switching, and even pixel-by-pixel analysis. These tools make visual differences unmistakable, highlighting modifications between versions with precision and detail.
With PDFLab, validators and designers can review updates confidently, ensuring they understand exactly what has changed and confirming the integrity of every revision.
PDFLab includes a powerful checklist system that guides validators through the specific items that must be reviewed during a validation process. Each checklist is fully configurable when the workflow is defined, allowing teams to tailor the required checks to the standards, steps, or compliance criteria of each project.
By presenting clear, structured guidance, PDFLab ensures that validators know exactly what to examine, reducing oversight and improving consistency across revisions. This feature strengthens quality control and helps maintain a disciplined, reliable review process.
PDFLab also includes a versatile set of inspection tools that enhance the analysis of PDF documents. It can automatically read barcodes and QR codes embedded in the artwork, ensuring that encoded data is accurate and properly placed. Its measurement tools allow users to define rules, inspect specific areas, and verify dimensions with precision.
In addition, PDFLab provides advanced viewing controls such as rotation, zoom, and document mirroring, making it easy to examine complex layouts from any angle. Together, these tools offer a comprehensive environment for technical validation, quality control, and detailed document inspection.
PDFLab includes advanced color-management tools designed for precise visual and technical control. Users can measure color values directly on the document, activate or deactivate individual color channels, and analyze how artwork behaves under different printing conditions. The platform also allows replacing channel colors with custom CMYK values or selecting alternatives from an extensive library of Pantone swatches.
These capabilities give designers and validators unparalleled insight into color accuracy, ensuring that every element meets the required standards before reaching production.
