Pre-press
Plug-ins provide additional functionality during
the PDF creation process for validating PDF files
so that they conform to Industry Standards, such as
PDF/X. Additionally, pre-defined PDF configuration
profiles are provided to facilitate standardized
best practice PDF creation. Use Jaws PDF Creator to
conform to industry standards and best practices and
make your PDF output more predictable.
With Jaws PDF Creator you get:
- A wide range of pre-press plug-ins
- Ghent PDF Workgroup (GWG) best practice
profiles and plug-ins for creating GWG approved
PDF output
- PDF/X plug-ins
An overview of these plug-ins and profiles can be
found below. For more detail on each profile or
plug-in, please download the relevant PDF file
(these are supplied with the product when it is
installed).
A number of pre-press plug-ins have been made available with Jaws PDF Creator
so that you can create or validate specific types of PDF files that conform to
Industry standards or specifications. These include graphic arts specific
functionality, workflow features and configuration profiles.
 The Ghent PDF Workgroup plug-ins are a subset of the provided pre-press
plug-ins. When ALL of them are used together with Jaws PDF Creator v4.0 they produce
GWG compliant PDF output files that are considered 'best practice' in the graphic arts
workflows in which they are designed to be used. Jaws PDF Creator v4.0 supports GWG v2
(2004) and GWG v3 (2005) profiles.
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.
PDF/X standards make PDF output more predictable by
defining restrictions on the format and settings of
PDF files. PDF/X plug-ins that come with Jaws PDF
Creator v4.0 allow you to create PDF/X-1a:2001 and
PDF/X-3:2002 files.
GWG approved profiles define configurations that
compliment PDF/X output. When GWG profiles are used
with Jaws PDF Creator they reduce the chance of
failure when producing PDF/X compliant files.
