Specifications

PDF/X-Plus Creation and Preflight specifications and Best Practices are the core work of the Ghent PDF Workgroup. They include documentation that explain the theoretical sides of the specifications and they include deliverable reference implementations. Specifications created by the GWG are the result of the work of the full workgroup and the specific subcommittees. The different specifications can be downloaded from this page.
