Drop a PDF, run a saved workflow, and send it print-ready — preflight, imposition, numbering and routing in one standalone Windows app. No Adobe Acrobat.
A customer sends a file. You check it, fix it, impose it, save it, and send it somewhere. Tomorrow, almost the same thing again.
Watch a raw customer PDF become an imposed, marked, print-ready sheet — in about ninety seconds.
Collapse Chamellio into a compact window that floats above whatever else you’re working in. Every card is a saved workflow — drag a PDF onto one and it runs the whole sequence, then drops the result where it belongs.
Chamellio is a file tool at heart — it prepares the PDFs your shop actually produces. Save any of these as a reusable workflow.
A customer sends a flat 8.5 × 11 with the artwork running right to the edge, but no bleed and no crop marks. Chamellio extends the bleed and drops the marks in for you — no hunting through Acrobat for a feature that was never really there.
Drop one card design and get a full press sheet: bleed added, ganged up N-up, crop marks placed, routed to the right folder.
Hand Chamellio sequential reader-order pages; it checks the count, imposes them into saddle-stitch printer spreads, and adds fold marks — so the booklet reads in order once it's printed double-sided, folded, and stapled.
One ticket design becomes a numbered run: sequential numbers stamped, duplicated, imposed up on the sheet, and saved ready to print.
Save the repeated steps — bleed, resize, impose, number, booklet, merge — as a reusable Action: a saved recipe you replay on the next file.
Run that saved Action on a new PDF through the full editor or Mini View. No re-setup, no guesswork.
Route the finished file to the Chamellio Output folder, the source folder, or a RIP hot folder — automatically.
Every tool lives in Full View — your full production workspace. Mini View is the compact, pin-on-top companion that runs saved workflows with a single drop. Same app, two ways to work.
Pricing varies by vendor, plan, reseller, and region. The point is simple: Chamellio brings the everyday production-prep workflow into one standalone app.
Most tools do one job well and need Acrobat to run. Chamellio's edge is the everyday production workflow, standalone.

“PDFs that looked perfect on screen, ready for press, kept coming off the press with pieces missing or funky transparency issues — it cost me more than once. Since switching to Chamellio, that problem’s been solved.”
