Case Study: Literature & Latte achieves PDF/X-1a export for Scrivener with Hybrid Software Helix

Literature & Latte fixes PDF/X-1a export in hours with Hybrid Software Helix's Mako Core

Literature & Latte, the creator of the Scrivener writing app, faced a challenge exporting documents to the PDF/X-1a format required by self-publishing platforms. Apple's native frameworks did not support this standard, and other solutions were either too complex, expensive, or incompatible with macOS and iOS. To provide the best experience for its authors, the company sought a vendor with extensive print software expertise and turned to Hybrid Software Helix and its Mako Core™ SDK.

Hybrid Software Helix provided the Mako Core™ SDK, which was simple to integrate into Scrivener and solved the PDF export issue in a matter of hours. The result was a significant reduction in customer support requests, as authors could now submit files to platforms like IngramSpark without warnings. The implementation also provided performance benefits and offered the team access to ongoing support from the Mako product manager.
