PDF becomes more and more important in variable data print, an area that was long dominated by AFP. While AFP was designed for this application, PDFs application range is much wider. That raises the question what features of PDF should be used to address the high performance requirements specifically of variable data print.
The Print Product Metadata LWG of the PDF Association has published best practice guides for variable data print that are based on PDF/VT. These guides support developers of PDF creation and consumption products and their users.
This session will introduce the best practice guides and provide further background.
