VIGC puts PDF viewers to the test

Most fail and not one iPad PDF app deemed suitable for printing and publishing workflows

(PresseBox) (Turnhout, )
VIGC, the Flemish Innovation Center for Graphic Communication, has run the rule over a raft of popular and lesser-known PDF viewing tools. The results are an eye opener for anyone involved in publishing or printing, as most tools do not display a PDF/X correctly. And iPad apps for viewing PDFs put in a poor performance, making them unreliable in a design or prepress environment.

"Using the right tools with the right settings is essential," says Eddy Hagen, Managing Director and trend watcher at VIGC. "Inevitably, there will be some software developers that won't like our tests or the results.
