Smart Proof Books - Prepress Proofing Software for Publishing
Product features
- Multi-page Inspection: Compare publisher’s electronic files with scanned proofs, or compare different versions of multi-page electronic files before and after revision.
- Imposition Inspection: Compare multi-page files with imposed flat files.
- Color Separation File Inspection: Compare RIP-processed files with the original to avoid issues with rare characters, transparent layers, or complex textures.
- Auto Deskew: Correct skewed pages caused by scanning.
- Instant Detection: Instead of model-based detection, users can select a standard file and comparison file for real-time inspection—ideal for frequent modifications in prepress workflows.
- Easy-to-Identify Results: Zoom in on local defects with mouse control; adjust mask colors or shading for clear visibility against different backgrounds.
- Exportable Results: Inspection results can be exported to PDF for internal use or cross-team communication.

Inspection Content |
4 modes supported: 1) Text comparison: Detect the text content of PDF or scanned copies, mark text differences, and support files with different pages and lines and page numbers. 2) Layout comparison: Detect image differences of vector or converted PDF design drafts, and mark areas with different positions and pixels. 3) Text & layout comparison: The detection results of the above two modes are superimposed, which is convenient for viewing text differences within large-area layout differences. 4) Sample book comparison: Detect the differences between PDF and scanned PDF/TIFF, and mark dirty spots, missing prints, positions, and content difference areas. Imposition & Color Separation Inspection: Supports layout comparison mode for large flat files, detecting image differences and highlighting positional and pixel variations. Layered PDF Support: Compatible with multi-layer PDF file inspection. |

Intelligent Matching |
No need for modeling, automatic intelligent matching, just load the file and detect. |
FAQs
-
Can the comparison accuracy and sensitivity be adjusted?
Yes, the accuracy and sensitivity can be adjusted with appropriate parameter settings. However, the software cannot detect extremely subtle differences (e.g., 1% dot changes or missing ultra-fine lines). If the sensitivity is set too high, irrelevant factors may also be flagged as differences, which could lead to some “false positives.”

What file formats are supported, and how is system compatibility?
-
How is the detection performance and speed?
Powered by GPU-based data processing, the software delivers fast inspection speed. Processing time depends on file size and detection precision. While large files (e.g., ultra-high-resolution posters or long catalogs) may take longer, smaller book and publication files can be processed quickly—at speeds of up to 200 pages per minute.
-
Does the software support color inspection?
For PDF-to-PDF comparison, color recognition is not included. However, in image-to-image comparison, the software does support color difference detection.
