Adobe--Life in the PDF Lane

"With Adobe Extreme, we have introduced PDF as the internal file format, thus obviating many of the file failure concerns and increasing reliability, as all graphics, fonts and images are now in one object-based file that has already been interpreted by an Adobe PostScript interpreter. Users of PDF in digital printing find they can streamline operations, improve responsiveness to customer demands and cut costs because of the efficiencies of its use as a common file format.
