- Connector - software for transfer of print data
For the transfer of print data we recommend the use of our Connector software. After the installation of the version for your operating system you won't need any additional log in data and your pdf files will be uploaded safely.
Before the transfer the data will be examined on conformity with the pdf/x3 specifications. If any errors are indicated like non printable colours (RGB), low resolution (< 200 dpi) or missing fonts these should be corrected before transferring the data.
There is a quick reference guide for the software available for download.
Please do not send archives (zip, rar or similar formats) or folders since the contents won't be checked.
If there are any questions please contact us via e-mail printdatenpallas-groupde or telephone +49 5441 977-173.
- FTP Server Access
You can send us data in many ways. For larger volumes of data of more than 5 MB you best use our FTP server. For access please contact us.
To put data on our server, you need an FTP client. We recommend FileZilla.
