Hybrid Software has created an extensive series of short videos to demonstrate the different features within Packz, a leading professional PDF editor for packaging and label workflows. The native PDF software (which runs on Mac OS X and Windows platforms and provides 64-bit multi-processing and multi-threading facilities) eliminates the need for file conversions or proprietary file formats. Today, there are more than 1,200 Packz licenses in use worldwide. “This has been a really exciting project to oversee,” said Christopher Graf, Managing Director of Hybrid Software GmbH. “Being at the forefront in the development of software for the graphic arts market, we wanted to build a site that provides a level of varied information which is accessible in an easy-to-use way that’s not often encountered. The fully responsive site can be accessed from any mobile device such as an iPad or smart phone, with displayed information and images adapting automatically to the screen and platform being used. All of the data will be available in eight languages – English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Czechoslovakian and Portuguese – that will be added as time goes on.”
Graf emphasized that the videos are very informative, easy to follow and have been designed to give the feel of a live demonstration. For instance, if someone wants to learn more about 3D warping, they can read the technical specifications and then watch those features actually being used. In addition, the screen shots have been designed with “a degree of detail rarely seen on a website.” For example, trapping, barcodes and text can be increased in size to reveal the smallest points that an operator might be interested in examining. “Potential customers can visit the site and come away with a solid understanding of what Packz can do for their business,” Graf added.
The new website has a wide range of clickable links to social media outlets and enables users to easily download free software, such as the Packzview app for previewing and inspecting production PDF files. Product brochures can be readily downloaded, while company, technical and support information is all clearly displayed in addition to the latest news on software developments and corporate announcements.
