PDF approval, page by page

Official letters, council minutes, the town magazine, a practical guide, a catalogue, a consultation file: the PDF module centralises your documents, organises the review rounds and lets only the approved version go to production. The flat plan shows the whole document, page by page, and how far each page has got.

What the module does

Centralise, read, annotate, approve

The PDF module brings reading, annotation and approval together in one place. It makes exchanges between departments easier, tracks corrections and circulates up-to-date versions.

Reading without software

The document opens in the browser, page after page. No reader to install, no 200 MB file to email, no version to dig out of a mailbox.

Annotation on the page

Comments, remarks and change requests are placed directly on the page, at the point concerned: flag a correction, draw attention to a specific element, discuss with the other contributors.

Flat plan

The flat plan structures and displays how a document, a newspaper, a catalogue or an official document is organised, page by page. It helps with layout, progress tracking, approvals and collaboration between teams.

Approval by authorised people

Approval is the sign-off step: after checking, authorised people approve, reject or request changes. Only the compliant version is circulated or sent to production.

Versions and comparison

Every new upload creates a version. The comparator shows what changed from one version to the next, page by page, and annotations stay attached to their original page.

Notifications between departments

Notifications keep exchanges between departments moving: the reviewer knows they are expected, the designer knows what was asked, nobody has to chase by email.

Traceable corrections

Who asked for what, who approved, when: the history of corrections and decisions stays available, including after final sign-off.

How it works

From upload to final sign-off

Upload the document

The PDF is uploaded to the project, online or by FTP. The application generates the page-by-page preview and builds the flat plan.

Compose the review circuit

You decide who reads, who arbitrates and who signs off: single reading, double reading, or the circuit your organisation actually uses.

Annotate page by page

Each contributor places remarks on the page concerned. Correction tracking is read straight from the flat plan: page approved, page pending, page rejected.

Approve and circulate

The approved document goes to the printer, the website or the requesting department, and joins the media library with its full history.

Who it is for

A document passes through many hands

Wherever a document has to be read by several departments before going out, the circuit replaces the round trips of email attachments.

Local government: official letters, council minutes, consultation files, forms and regulatory documents reviewed by the relevant departments, with traceable decisions.
Communications teams: town magazine, practical guide, poster, brochure: final sign-off is dated, attributed and kept.
Publishers: the flat plan tracks progress page by page through to press day, without a spreadsheet on the side.
Retail groups & large accounts: catalogues, point-of-sale material and manuals approved in the same place as the visuals they contain.
Agencies: the end client annotates the page directly, from a browser, with no software to install.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Annotation means adding comments, remarks or instructions directly on the PDF: flagging a correction, requesting a change, drawing attention to a specific element. Approval is the sign-off step: authorised people approve, reject or request changes, which guarantees that only the compliant version is circulated or sent to production.

No. Alpha Studio runs as SaaS, hosted in France: a browser is enough, from a council office, an agency or home. Access rights are configurable, so each user only holds the permissions they need.

Yes. A video rush, an edit, a 3D file or a set of assets follows the same path as a PDF: a slot, a brief, versions, an approval, a delivery. Video is approved on a lightweight clip generated by the application, without downloading the master.

Yes, and it is the most common case: a town magazine brings together photo reportage, video captures and the composed pages, all approved in the same circuit.
