The Ghent Workgroup offers a compliancy program for its vendor members.
This allows vendors to ensure their solutions are compliant with the Ghent PDF Output Suite 5 and communicate that to their customers. It allows customers to ensure a wide range of advanced PDF features can successfully be handled by those solutions.
To be compliant, and be listed on this page, a vendor must:
  1. Have submitted proof of successful output, display or processing of the Ghent Output Suite 5 to the Ghent Workgroup.
  2. Have provided instructions for end-users on how to successfully handle such files to the Ghent Workgroup.
The vendors listed below went through this program for the solutions mentioned. For each solution, you can download the vendor-supplied instructions so you can easily configure your software or hardware correctly to replicate their result.
