Structured PDF extraction API that turns complex files into consistent JSON.
codex-pdf is the document-facts layer in the printwithsynergy family. It parses uploaded PDFs into a stable schema your apps can consume for automation, QA summaries, and downstream prepress workflows.
- Single extract endpoint with predictable JSON output
- Page-level document facts for automation and QA
- Works alongside lens-pdf visual review
- Simple API contract for browser and backend integrations
- Built for production pipelines with optional token auth
Programmatic PDF assembly — a deterministic API build step for rewriting and generating print-ready PDFs.
compile-pdf is a programmatic PDF assembly utility. Call it as a discrete API build step to rewrite and generate print-ready PDFs — byte-deterministic output with SHA-256 lineage so every transform is reproducible and auditable. It plugs into the prepress workflow you already run.
- Deterministic PDF rewrite + page assembly over a simple API
- Same input → same bytes, every operation verifiable
- SHA-256 lineage on every step for full auditability
- Optional marks, imposition, and trapping utilities when you need them
- Run it as a CLI, an in-process library, or an API sidecar
Detection-only PDF preflight engine — 500+ checks plus the PDF/X-4 conformance suite.
lint-pdf is the open-source preflight engine. It inspects PDFs against 500+ checks across fonts, color, images, transparency, page geometry, and packaging — plus a 91-check PDF/X-4 conformance suite (ISO 15930-7). Detection-only by design: your originals are never modified.
- 500+ engine checks + PDF/X-4 (ISO 15930-7) conformance suite
- Built-in rulesets for GWG sheetfed, GWG digital, PDF/X-4, packaging
- External imports from PitStop, callas pdfToolbox, Acrobat
- FastAPI service + CLI + Python SDK
- Detection-only: your files are never modified
Embeddable PDF viewer with separations, TAC, layers, and annotation overlays.
lens-pdf is an embeddable web PDF viewer purpose-built for prepress review. It surfaces ink separations, total-area-coverage maps, layer toggles, a single-pixel densitometer, and annotation overlays — the things a prepress operator actually needs when looking at a job.
- Per-channel ink separations (CMYK + spots)
- TAC heatmap and densitometer probe
- Layer toggles + annotation overlays
- Embeddable in any Next.js / React host
- Plugin slots for custom toolbars and panels
PDF assay and metadata reporting — surface what's actually inside the file.
assay-pdf reports the structural and content characteristics of a PDF without making a value judgment about them. Page boxes, embedded fonts, color spaces, image inventory, security flags, structure tags — the raw inventory that downstream tools (preflight, accessibility, archival workflows) need to do their job.
- Per-page metadata: dimensions, boxes, rotation, content streams
- Font inventory: embedded vs. referenced, subset state, encoding
- Color and image inventory with downsampling detection
- Security and encryption posture
- Structure tag tree for accessibility tooling
WYSIWYG canvas editor for label and packaging artwork — PDF/X-4 output, flexo support, and a full create-to-RIP workflow.
artwork-pdf is an embeddable canvas editor for label and packaging artwork. It outputs PDF/X-4 via Ghostscript, handles flexo distortion compensation per separation, parses CF2/DDES/ARD dielines, and supports Pantone, white ink, and varnish as named separations. Self-hostable via Docker Compose.
- PDF/X-4 output via Ghostscript — print-ready from first render
- Flexo distortion compensation per separation — automatic plate correction
- CF2, DDES, and ARD dieline format support
- Pantone, white ink, and varnish as named separations with preview thumbnails
- Embeddable as @printwithsynergy/artwork-pdf-editor — Docker Compose self-hosting
Stateless imposition-planning solver — step-and-repeat, gang, and true-shape nesting.
sift-pdf is the imposition-planning solver in the printwithsynergy family. Given SKU/job rules and a press/substrate context it computes the most efficient step-and-repeat, gang, or true-shape nest layout, emits an ImposePlan, and hands it to the workflow that writes the sheet — compile-pdf, Esko Automation Engine, or HYBRID Cloudflow. It never writes a PDF itself.
- Three solver tiers: uniform grid, CP-SAT gang, true-shape nest
- Stateless + deterministic — same inputs, same plan, content-addressed cache
- Builds on codex geometry primitives (tile_grid, polygon ops)
- Hands off to compile-pdf.impose, Esko AE, or Cloudflow for the PDF write
- API-first: /v1/sift/solve, /suggest, /estimate + CLI
Content-addressed digital-asset plane — versioned blobs, a presigned data plane, and on-prem agent recall.
trove is the content-addressed digital-asset plane for the printwithsynergy stack. It stores versioned assets by content hash, serves a presigned data plane so bytes move directly to and from object storage, and recalls on-prem files through a lightweight agent — every transfer hash-verified end to end.
- Content-addressed, deduplicated blob + versioned asset store
- Presigned data plane — bytes never cross the control channel
- On-prem trove-agent for plant-local file recall over one WebSocket
- Per-tenant isolation enforced with Postgres RLS
- Caches codex-derived facts by content hash
The print-data integration hub — canonical jobs, orders, and customers kept in sync across your MIS, ERP, and prepress tools.
atlas is the integration hub for the printwithsynergy stack. It holds the canonical record of your print business — jobs, orders, customers, estimates, substrates, and margins — and keeps it in sync with the systems you already run (MIS, ERP, 3PL) over JDF/JMF and native connectors. One source of truth that every prepress tool can resolve against by a stable id.
- Canonical print-business entities: job, order, customer, estimate, substrate, margin
- Connectors for MIS / ERP / 3PL plus JDF/JMF ingest and write-back
- Stable cross-references that tie every system's id to one canonical record
- Tenant-scoped, content-addressed, and audit-logged end to end
- Self-host the OSS or use managed hosting on host.withsynergy.io
