LUTS | PDF Output Management

– For newspaper, weeklies, large and medium-sized publishing houses and media companies. | The server based PROFESSIONAL PDF OUTPUT-VERSION for medium and large teams. With PDF assembly, version control and connection to the printing machine.

Without OUTPUT and version control it will be difficult to produce a newspaper.  

Many things to consider: Imposition schemes, production catalogs,  printing options, print products, inheritances and mutations, different type areas, page formats and templates of the most frequently used production alternatives and many other factors….

And all these things have to be composed in the correct versions to a PDF for the CTP.
Single elements, partial pages, adverts, lines, filler, all kinds of headers and editorial content should be assembled to a printable PDF/X, be monitored for changes and forwarded to subsequent systems, of course with the right page IDs / color separation IDs or naming conventions.
