Overview of FreeFlow

Makeready
FreeFlow Makeready allows you to build scalable documents
called Raster Document Objects (RDOs). RDOs are comprised
of hardcopy pages scanned directly into the document as TIFF,
JPEG, PostScript, and PDF files imported into the document,
and other linked RDOs.
With FreeFlow Makeready, you can edit PDF files within an
RDO, format the document, and modify document and page
characteristics. You can print RDOs to supported Xerox
production printers using advanced job-ticketing features.
FreeFlow Makeready supports enhanced PDF capabilities such
as rotation, scaling, and shifting at the page level.
FreeFlow Makeready provides extended PDF management
features. In addition to PDF import, edit, and creation
capabilities, users may perform preflight (font) validation on
foreign PDF files to determine integrity and printability and
automatically convert incoming PDF files into RDOs by simply
dragging files to an “inbox”.
FreeFlow Makeready uses the FreeFlow File Conversion Tool to
convert RDO, PostScript, TIFF,a nd PDF file types to viewable
PDF.
NOTE: Document Centre and WorkCentre Pro Scanback
integration with Xerox network scanning enabled on Document
Centre products enables users to forward scanned jobs from
remote scanners/printers over a network to a FreeFlow
Makeready system. They are then automatically converted into
RDOs for additional editing, production printing, and/or archiving.
Document Centre and WorkCentre Pro Scanback requires
Hummingbird NFS be installed on the FreeFlow system. If you
need Hummingbird NFS installed on your FreeFlow system,
contact your Xerox representative for more information.
