Print Data Management Software - STREAMdiff
STREAMdiff offers precisely what the marketplace is looking for - a competitively priced, high speed print stream comparison application. With companies spending significant time and money developing print applications, there is a genuine need in the marketplace to quickly and easily compare files.
STREAMdiff is a high speed AFP and Metacode print data stream comparison application. In a fraction of the time that a manual approach would take, StreamDiff performs the tedious and labor-intensive task of comparing two print data streams.
STREAMdiff inspects the visual output of two print data streams to ensure that there are no unexpected differences. Interrogating print stream structures, STREAMdiff provides a detailed list of specific changes and pinpoints the exact location of items that have changed.
With STREAMdiff, print streams are visually compared side-by-side with font, image, and graphics changes easily identified by user-defined change marks such as circles or arrows. The cause of each difference is explained in detail and a drag and drop operation allows for easy acceptance of selected changes.
STREAMdiff revolutionizes the comparison of print stream data by quickly and easily identifying differences between print streams and determining their cause. With changes isolated, immediate action can be taken to resolve differences.
STREAMdiff automatically and intuitively creates input data stream configuration files in one easy step. A Print Preview component lets you review data before comparing it. STREAMdiff includes graphical user interface components for:
- Automatic setup and configuration
- Input print preview
- Side by side view of two compared print data streams displaying visually different text, images, and graphics and the reason for each difference
- Drag and drop acceptance of selected changes
- A Batch process lets you run multiple print data stream comparisons overnight.
