Everything you need to render print-ready artwork

ArtworkPDF brings Ghostscript-quality rendering to the prepress workflow you already run — with preflight, distortion correction, and separation preview built in from day one.

PDF/X-4 rendering

Ghostscript-backed rendering of print-ready PDF/X-4 files from ArtworkPDF document models with full CMYK separation support.

Preflight integration

Runs lint-pdf preflight checks as part of every render workflow — 500+ rules covering PDF/X conformance and production quality.

Flexo distortion

Automatic plate distortion correction for flexographic printing, applied per separation during the render stage.

Dieline parser

Parses CF2, DDES, and ARD dieline formats into structured geometry for layout and imposition workflows.

Separation preview

Per-channel CMYK and spot-color separation previews generated as thumbnails for browser-side review.

Canvas editor

Embeddable react-konva canvas with Illustrator-grade selection-aware property panels — rotate, restyle text, swap images, and tune dieline opacity inline.

Render API

Exposes artwork.render / artwork.thumbnail / artwork.preview-separations as plain render endpoints, callable from any automation.

Open-source AGPL

Full source under AGPL-3.0-or-later — no closed rendering black-box, no proprietary API gateway required.
