ROCHESTER, N.Y., -- Commercial and packaging printers looking for a robust PDF file editing solution will find KODAK PRINERGY PDF File Editor Software for ADOBE ILLUSTRATORSoftware to be a valuable addition to their operations. The new software solution allows users to leverage the power of ILLUSTRATOR and PHOTOSHOP software to affordably and conveniently edit PDF files and streamline the production workflow.

PRINERGY PDF File Editor Software enables late-stage modification of production jobs, maintaining a complete history of the changes, preserving all file metadata, and exporting the elements back to KODAK PRINERGY System after the editing process.

"PRINERGY PDF File Editor Software works great, preserving Dotshop screening settings, existing traps and over-print changes," said David Schrader, Color Management Specialist, Coating Excellence International. "It saved me time that I previously would have had to spend re-building the files from the beginning."

Minimal training is required to use the software, making it possible for customers to maximize both their investment and skills in existing desktop software.

 "This software brings a new level of efficiency to commercial and package printers," added Steve Miller, Product Manager, Packaging and Newspaper Workflow, Kodak.
