🌍 Welcome to CCL Innovation Pulse

Description:

In a world where packaging complexity is growing and standardization is rare — especially in large groups like CCL — your files need to carry more than just design. PDF+ is Esko’s evolution of Native PDF, purpose-built for packaging workflows. Unlike the rigid Normalized PDF format, PDF+ is lighter, smarter, and dynamic, carrying object-level intelligence that flows seamlessly across editing, automation, and output.

This 45-minute session will break down the differences in simple terms, showing how ArtPro+ with PDF+ helps your prepress teams work faster, spot errors earlier, and stay future-proof — even in decentralized operations like yours.

Whether your site is already using ArtPro+ or still working with Classic Editors, this workshop will help you assess where you are, and where you can go next.

Key Takeaways:

• See the difference: Learn the practical, structural differences between PDF+ and Normalized PDF—and why it matters.
• Unlock automation: Discover how PDF+ enables faster downstream processing, fewer manual touchpoints, and stronger QC.
• Smarter metadata: Understand how object-level metadata (vs. XMP) makes your files dynamic and cleaner over time.
• CCL spotlight: Hear directly from a CCL site that has already adopted PDF+ — their journey, benefits, and lessons learned.
• Start your transition: Get actionable tips for preparing your team and workflows for PDF+ migration using ArtPro+.
