Benefits

Key Features

IPS PDFt, Zoran's embedded PDF (Portable Document Format)

interpreter, provides users the ability to directly send a PDF file

to the printer without requiring the document to be opened by

an application first. IPS PDFt is offered as part of Zoran's rich-

featured embedded foundation technology—IPS. IPS PDFt is

ideal for network connected workgroup printers in a workflow

or print-on-demand environment. The PDF standard enables

users to fill in forms, transmit, distribute and print while

retaining the look and feel of the document. IPS PDFt supports

the transparent imaging model introduced in PDF 1.4 (Acrobat

5), as well as the newest PDF advancements introduced in PDF

1.5 (Acrobat 6) and PDF 1.6 (Acrobat 7)

The PDF Standard

PDF has emerged as a standard file format that preserves documents

with all the fonts, graphics, colors and layout of the source document

regardless of the application or platform on which it was created. This

format provides a practical method for transmitting documents for

easy viewing and printing across diverse applications, platforms and

printer devices.

Zoran provides complete source code for the IPS PDFt interpreter

and a full set of engineering documentation to allow OEMs to

customize the interpreters for specific market requirements.

IPS PDFt is integrated with IPS to offer a total solution for high

performance print and multifunction peripheral controllers. With its

layered architecture and application programming interface (API),

IPS reduces time-to-market and development costs. The image

processing model of IPS PDFt is fully integrated with IPS PS3 for

improved compatibility in an efficient memory footprint.

Transparent Imaging Model

Zoran’s innovative OneImage common display list technology has

been extended to support native transparency rendering for greatest

fidelity to documents created in Acrobat 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 and other

applications used by creative professionals.

Enhanced Security

IPS PDFt supports 128-bit decryption and the ability to restrict

printing of PDF documents. IPS PDFt is fully integrated with RSA

BSAFE cryptographic software from RSA Security Inc. OEMs have

the option to sublicense RSA decryption technology directly from

Zoran. Users can encrypt a PDF file with either the AES algorithm or

with proprietary RC4 encryption supplied by RSA.

Reduced Network Traffic

With embedded HTTP support, IPS PDFt gives users the option to

send a PDF file directly to the printer rather than opening the

document first on the PC. This allows the file to travel only once on

the network instead of once to the PC and again to the printer.

Host Application

Zoran provides a reference host application to browse and select

URLs, send the target URL to the printer and initiate the IPS PDFt

print process. The application allows the user to drag a URL to the

host application's icon and drop to initiate a single-copy print process.
