Ghent Workgroup releases PDF Processing Steps Specification

24 June 2016

The Ghent Workgroup (GWG) has released a new specification describing a standardized method for storing data corresponding to production processing steps within a PDF file. A PDF file can serve as a container for all graphical production data, printing and non-printing, of a package, label, or any other print file. Having the processing step data embedded in a PDF file makes it easy to validate structural components of design through conventional proofing methods. In addition, overlaying processing step data with design elements in the same file enables precision alignment of design elements and makes preflighting all aspects of the job easier (Press Release GWG, 26 May 2016).
