Technology

As a basic principle, le-tex generates precisely the PDF data you need for your application from the various typesetting programs.

This means le-tex is able to generate Unicode-coded PDF output in every typesetting system in order to save texts in searchable format in, for example, the phonetic, Phoenician or classical Greek alphabets.

le-tex can also process existing PDF data so that it can be used as straightforwardly as possible for different applications (print, online, mobile...).

le-tex has experience of various preflight workflows and also offers consulting in this field.

Application: Backlist conversion

When converting from PDF typesetting data to reflowable eBooks (generally: To XML), it is necessary to extrapolate the structure and semantics of the text from information such as font size and spacing.

Using configurable rules, hyphens at line ends must be either

• eliminated along with spaces, 
• brought together without spaces or 
• left with spaces. 

A spellcheck of the converted data supports quality assurance.
