Codex
BetaCloud
Structured PDF extraction API that turns complex files into consistent JSON.
Contract-first output · PDF, .ai, EPS & plate / tooling input · Schema-validated JSON
Authoritative PDF facts,
not fragmented guesses.
Codex is Print with Synergy's authoritative, read-only facts reference for print artwork. Extract once — from PDF, Adobe Illustrator .ai, EPS, or plate / tooling files — to get die size, separations, embellishments, and ink & coating coverage as stable, schema-validated facts every downstream tool can consume.
The contract layer your PDF stack can trust
Codex centralizes extraction into one authoritative facts engine so every downstream system can operate from the same versioned truth.
Contract-first output
CodexDocument is the stable root contract for extracted PDF facts, independent of consumer product logic.
Schema validation
Published schemas under versioned paths let every payload be validated in CI and runtime workflows.
Read-only boundary
Codex extracts facts only; no edits, no rendering mutations, no hidden policy side effects.
CLI workflows
Use extract, probe, validate, and parity commands to wire codex into local tooling and automation.
Parity profiles
Projection-based parity checks compare codex output against baseline systems and highlight drift.
Consumer-agnostic
Downstream tools can adapt codex output through thin adapters instead of re-parsing every document.
Typed Python models
Python package ships typed models and contract-aware primitives for reliable integrations.
Effective Image DPI
v1.17.0Captures the true printed resolution of every embedded image — accounting for scale, not just declared pixels. A 300 DPI image enlarged 2× reports 150 DPI. Gathered per-placement across all pages.
Unified input — PDF, .ai, EPS, plates & tooling
v1.36.0One extract endpoint accepts PDF, Adobe Illustrator .ai, EPS, raster plate / tooling files (1-bit TIFF, Esko LEN, multi-page TIFF, TIFF/IT, DCS/copydot, CIP3 PPF), and structural die files (CFF2, DDES, DXF). Every input returns the same CodexDocument. See the supported-format matrix in the docs.
Die size, embellishments & coverage
v1.36.0Plate and die inputs add authoritative die size, a consolidated embellishment inventory (foil, spot-UV, varnish, coating, emboss, white), and per-separation ink / coating coverage with peak TAC — all as neutral, versioned facts.
Self-hosted · managed hosting
Independent tools. Pick the ones you need.
A toolkit of focused, standalone PDF utilities — extraction, preflight, viewing, assembly, imposition planning, and an asset store. Each one plugs into the prepress workflow you already run. Self-host any tool, or let us host it for you on host.withsynergy.io.
Collate
BetaCloud
