Picture Analysis and Conversion Engine

Great images can bring a book or journal to life, but they can also significantly hold up a publisher's production workflow, resulting in frustrated authors, increased costs, and delayed time to publish.
‍
Apex introduces a smarter, faster way to produce professional, production-ready graphics that cuts days from your timeline and keeps satisfied authors coming back again and again.
‍
Pace, the Picture Analysis and Conversion Engine, is a game-changing pre-flight solution that allows authors to quickly and effortlessly convert images to exact publisher specifications in minutes, eliminating days of back-and-forth between authors, editorial, and production teams.
‍
Here’s how it works:
Images are uploaded into Pace, where they’re automatically converted to the publisher’s exact requirements. If Pace is unable to convert the images, instructions for corrections are provided for quick resolution. Authors can then preview graphics in the final publication for added quality assurance, easily organize files into the correct order for publication, and automatically rename them to publisher specs.
‍
In less than five minutes, authors can create a perfect, publication-ready package before the real work even starts.
‍
Publishers using Pace saw a 50–80% reduction in image discrepancies, and the 30,000 authors already using Pace with numbers growing each day love it.
‍
Pace is available as a standalone solution, or it can be easily integrated into your publishing workflow for increased efficiency from start to finish.
