New PDF/X Workflow Specifications v4 Released by the Ghent Workgroup

Other highlights of the v4 specification, according to Kleinheider, include:

• A response to the growing amount of font problems in pdfs. Now all font-related restrictions introduced by the PDF/A ISO Standard are mandatory.

• In response to the increasing use of standardized ICC Profiles, a set of recommended ICC-Profiles to be used for the various printing conditions of the market segments for which the GWG supplies specifications (http://www.gwg.org/colormanagement.phtml).
