3D Proofer displays the document output status and binding status in 3 dimensions.
When settings such as page creep, document orientation, paper thickness and varnish coating are configured, the output results can be simulated and checked in detail.
The fold pattern in the brochure format can be displayed in 3D by executing [Split page for brochure] in [Reading Order] context menu.
In addition, 3D Proofer can be exported as a JAR file that can reproduce the 3D display within computer environments in which XMF is not installed. By distributing these JAR files, proofing that is closer to the actual output can be performed in a wide range of environments.
