Atomyx Portal has been built completely on Drupal as
the web content management system (CMS) foundation.

While Atomyx Portal provides the full PDF delivery portal
experience from the start, the possibilities to extend and
integrate it are limitless as the full Drupal development
community, supported by plenty of local experts,
is available to further extend the solution.

Inside Atomyx Portal,
the renowned callas pdfToolbox engine is used to perform:

• quality control on uploaded PDF files,


• generate production-accurate preview images
  to let clients see how their files will be printed,


• create low-resolution preview PDF files.

With the same technology as used by Adobe for its Acrobat
preflight functionality, callas pdfToolbox is fast and creates
userfriendly preflight reports telling clients what they are
doing wrong in case of problems and how to solve them.
The preflight engine easily scales to provide the reliability
and speed you need on your PDF delivery portal.

Atomyx Portal lets you create products with an associated
preflight (quality control) profile and job ticket.

When your clients visit the portal, they will select
such a product and upload their PDF file.
From that point on Atomyx Portal does
the heavy lifting for you.

Aromyx Portal performs quality control and correction on
the PDF file (as setup by you), explains to clients what problems
were found (or congratulates them if the files are perfect)
and guides them to fill out the job ticket you specified.

Your clients remain in control until they
approve the PDF file for production.

Atomyx Portal comes with a Drupal theme that looks
nice and crisp, but of course it can be customized
to provide exactly the look and feel you need.

It is fully compliant with the Drupal theme engine that allows
unbridled creativity; anyone with Drupal theming experience
is able to customize your portal to your needs.

Drupal is developed actively to support recent browsers and
technologies with a plethora of extra modules that provide
out-of-the-box extensions to its core functionality.

Atomyx Portal focuses fully on the PDF file delivery aspect of
your workflow and does this with a keen eye on your needs.

When a client approves a PDF file, the preflighted file and
an XML file containing all information about the job
is delivered to a folder on your server.

Delivery can be split per product and of course any
job ticket the client was asked to fill out is also
included in the delivered XML file.
