DTP Editing
When DTP pages have to be prepared for printing, any number of the following tasks need to be carried out:
- OPI image replacement
- Correction of cut-outs
- Color correction and recoloring
- Partial image modification
- Retouching
- Soft edges on cut-outs
- Transparencies
- Status corrections
- Creation, modification of shadows

Compared to working with a MAC, these tasks can be performed considerably more efficiently with ORIS PDF Tuner as all corrections are made on the page using a single program. Retouching and image correction, transparencies, soft edges, shadows, texts, etc. can all be carried out with ORIS PDF Tuner.
Routine tasks such as format conversion, OPI image replacement, proof output, trapping, and final page export are handled e.g. by ORIS Works as a batch job.
PDF Editing, PostScript Editing
The ORIS PDF Tuner Interpreter converts PDF and PostScript documents into the ORIS PDF Tuner data format. ORIS PDF Tuner uses its own format as there is no open format available which can store and export all layout features independent of their resolution. The transformation and representation of even complex pages on the monitor occurs within seconds. During this process the page which consists of images, geometric elements and text, is broken down completely into its individual components.
