Everything the print stack needs to render artwork

artworkPDF brings Ghostscript-quality rendering into the Synergy orchestration layer — 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 for artwork placement, layer management, and pre-render review directly in the browser.

Synergy node

Registers as artwork.render / artwork.thumbnail / artwork.preview-separations Synergy nodes, consumable in any workflow recipe.

Open-source AGPL

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