What PRO Viewer is

PRO Viewer is a viewer for production print streams, helping teams inspect documents before printing. It supports AFP, Xerox Metacode, PCL, PostScript, and PDF, and can display a file dot for dot as it would be sent to a printer. Its rendering converts fonts, forms, logos, images, and color into a bit-mapped display; it supports all font types, including double-byte formats. Users can proof documents visually without a production printer and copy specific pages or page areas for review at the same fidelity. The viewer can display content in PRO Dynamic Document archives and other document repositories, and it interfaces with current and legacy document workflows. Listed uses include quality assurance, approvals, local-printer inspection, reprints, development previews, and content troubleshooting. It is designed for document production managers, designers, quality assurance staff, and customer service teams. Listed requirements include an Intel i7 quad-core CPU at 2.5 GHz or higher, 16GB RAM, and 5GB of free local disk space. Pricing is available on request.
