Your print studio,
now with a brain.
PDFlow already runs your studio from one place — orders, prepress, client proofs and the production floor. PDFlow Intelligence is the next step: a private AI that lives on your own studio computer. It reads incoming orders and files, explains what each job needs, and prepares the next step for your team to approve.
- Runs on your studio computer — your data stays with you
- Explains the reason behind every suggestion
- You approve each step, until you choose to automate

Quality checks and decisions, kept on record
Standalone means PDFlow's own order store, for a studio that runs no business system.
Less to chase, more under control.
When an order lives in one system, its files in folders, its approval in an email thread and its status in someone's head, work gets repeated and things slip through.
Less manual work
WithoutRe-typing orders, hunting for files, asking who has what.
With PDFlowOrders arrive from your system; files, owners and stations are tracked for you.
Fewer mistakes before print
WithoutA missing bleed or a changed order line found at the press.
With PDFlowFiles are checked before they move on, and SAP line changes are flagged before they reach the press.
Fewer approval emails
WithoutProofs going back and forth by email and phone.
With PDFlowThe client approves from a link on a phone, and the approved order moves on to production.
Full trace, order to production
WithoutNot knowing who did what, where and when.
With PDFlowA permanent production record for every order line, printable and exportable.
One system from order to delivery.
PDFlow started as a prepress toolkit. Today it runs the whole studio: every order, file, station, machine and quality check lives in one place — so nothing falls between the cracks and everyone knows what's next.
Orders & stations board
Orders arrive from your business system and move through your stations — intake, design, prepress, ready. Every file, owner and change is tracked, and SAP line changes are flagged before they reach the press.
Production floor & workflow builder
Draw your floor once — departments, stations and machines, with branching routes. Workers get job cards and move each line forward; managers see the whole floor live.
Quality control & traceability
Quality checks at every station, non-conformity reports with decisions, and a permanent, tamper-proof production record per item. Trace any job and export it in seconds.
Producer portal & client proofs
Your agencies and producers place orders and upload print files straight to your studio storage. Clients approve proofs from a secure link on their phone — no calls, no lost emails.
Connects to any business system
SAP Business One out of the box, any SQL database through a field-mapping wizard, Excel/CSV import — or PDFlow's own order store if you don't run a system at all.
Built for studios everywhere
Set your country, time zone, currency and units (cm or inches) once. PDFlow speaks your studio's language, with English and Hebrew interfaces and English word lists for studios abroad.
The screens your team works in.
Six views of the same order, from the list to the quality check. Illustrative screens with demo data - not a customer's.
Orders
Every order in one list, with its item, its station and who has it.
Station board
Orders sit in the column of their station. A changed order line is flagged before it reaches the press.
Preflight
Each file is checked; every problem is explained, and the fix runs on a copy.
Client approval
The client opens a link on a phone, sees size, material and quantity, and approves or asks for changes.
Production floor
Departments, stations and machines you drew once; each line shows where it is.
Quality control
Pass or fail at the station. A problem holds the line until a manager decides.
16 prepress tools that replace hours of manual work.
Each tool was built from a decade of real-world print production experience. Run them from the browser on any file, and check the result before it goes to press.
Automated Preflight
Catches resolution, color space, font, bleed and margin issues before they reach the press — with a clear report for every file.
Rich Black Correction
Detects improperly defined black and converts large areas to proper rich black. No more washed-out headlines.
Dieline & Cut Contour
Builds cut, crease and perforation layers as spot-color OCGs and exports Illustrator-compatible files. No more manual layer setup.
Intelligent Bleed
Adds bleed using content-aware mirror or stretch algorithms, and handles the edge cases that trip up basic tools.
ICC Color Conversion
Converts RGB to CMYK with industry-standard ICC profiles — FOGRA39/51, GRACoL, SWOP — matched to your press and substrate.
AI Image Upscaling
Low-res client files? Real-ESRGAN upscales images up to 4× without the usual artifacts.
