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.

Interested GWG vendor members can submit their application to the Process Control Subcommitttee.

 

This compliancy program is open to applications in below areas:

  • CTP workflows/RIP
  • Digital printing DFE
  • Hardcopy Proof
  • Soft Proof
  • Review tools
  • PDF viewer
  • Renderer
  • Imposition
  • Layout applications (import + export)

Download the instructions for successful output with Ghent PDF Output Suite 5.0

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. These settings should also be used to process other PDF/X-4 files. The instructions were created by the vendors of these systems. The Ghent Workgroup could not test these instructions.
In case of problems please contact your vendor.

This compliancy label only confirms that the vendor sent us one sample output with no failures. We cannot control which system nor which settings were used to process the pages. The vendors are responsible to ensure that new versions of their solutions are also compliant.
