A production-oriented image cleanup, margin positioning and QC tool for scanned document images.
ELAN Precise Page Positioning™ In General

Precise Page Positioning (PPP) is an image processing application for the document management, book production and printing markets. The program processes large volumes of raster files, and feeds clean images to print-on-demand applications, document management systems and PDF publishing. PPP™ is also integrated with other ELAN GMK imaging and printing software offerings where it serves as an external, high performance image processor.  PPP for Accent Capture® by Kofax Image Products is an Accent Capture Module that adds advanced image processing to more then 14,000 installations worldwide.

With Precise Page Positioning™, the page alignment and front to back registration of the page content can be automated using high-performance image processing utilities.  Until now, tedious manual cleanup was required to prepare scanned images before submitting them to the printing or PDF conversion process. Additionally, the built-in raster editor gives you the flexibility to perform manual editing of problematic files without leaving the program environment.

View how PPP™ can be used for:
• High-quality reproduction of existing paper books.
• Preparing Food and Drug Administration dockets for electronic submission.

Precise Page Positioning™ is widely used in the back rooms of professional printers and image processing organizations that perform large amounts of automated image cleanup with excellent quality control capabilities. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are using PPP for document preparation for regulatory submissions.

Where Is PPP Used?


  

Digital printing is getting more and more popular in the industry. With PPP, you can finally automate your page registration tasks. Until now, tedious manual cleanup was necessary to prepare scanned images before submitting them to the printing or PDF conversion process. PPP will fit right into your workflow, positioned between the scanner and impositioning software. The process is highly automated. However, if PPP encounters a bad scan or another irregularity, PPP will flag it, and the operator will be able to use a wide array of visual display aids to determine what went wrong.

These include:
  • Thumbnail Display throughout the process
  • Input and Output Overview after processing
  • Investigation Window of Input and Output images with Focused Zoom™ technology
