Brochure product building application
The application is used to create printable products like flyers, brochures, catalogs, etc. The application is oriented toward non-professional users and allows them to create material easily based on the predefined blocks on touch devices. It is available to drag and drop predefined objects (headlines, product images, and descriptions, etc.) onto a printing material layout, change the number of pages it will contain, choose images and product descriptions from the database.
Generated PDF files should have CMYK color profile
Industrial printers require all images and other colorful elements to be in CMYK color space.
The application verified all images and styles inside PDF files and converted them into CMYK if requires. Also, the application shows warnings in case of RGB or other non-CMYK items to warn users that conversion may change colors.
PDF creation requires significant resources and time
The process of PDF generation especially of multipage high-quality brochures requires significant time and CPU resources. Thus we can't just start all requested generations at the same time because it will make the server unresponsive quickly.
To organize the process of PDF generation we created a special queue on the server with a corresponding UI on the front end. With developed UI users can seePDG generation progress in real-time, see PDF generation tasks created by other team members, and predict completion time.
