Global Graphics offers a range of plugins for use with Jaws PDF Creator for both pre-press and enterprise markets

The Ghent Workgroup plug-ins are a subset of the pre-press plugins. When ALL of them are used together with Jaws PDF Creator v3.4 (and later) they produce Ghent Workgroup compliant PDF output files that are considered 'best practice' in the graphic arts workflows in which they are designed to be used.

The Ghent PDF Workgroup, formed in June 2002, is an international assembly of industry associations and suppliers from across Europe and the United States. Its objective is to establish and disseminate process specifications for best practices in graphic arts workflows. Members comprise graphic arts associations in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Italy, Austria, The United Kingdom and the United States, as well as observer-status organizations from Sweden, Norway and Germany. For more information about the Workgroup, its members and objectives, visit www.ghentpdfworkgroup.org.

Below is a brief description of each plugin. A more detailed description can be found in the appropriate plugin manuals which are supplied in the plugin set when you download them.
