Environmental Management
CO2 emission reduction
♦ Through product operation:
More energy-efficient products
Chemical management
♦ Complying the European RoHS
directive and REACH regulation
Waste reduction
♦ sorting waste to extract valuable
materials, developing relationships
with new recyclers, and reducing the
amount of resources used in the
manufacturing process.

Adobe PDF Print Engine internally
The front end
Accepts, interprets, and processes the JDF file.
The Adobe Common Renderer
♦ Processes the PDF file, rendering all content at once
The back end
♦ manages bitmaps and transports them to the output
device
12
PDF in “Variable” and “Transactional”
PDF/VT is designed for use with
JDF, to define a print product
and corresponding process.
PDF/VT supports the entire PDF imaging model
as supported in PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5 variants
including all transparency blending modes,
layers, etc.

Utilising PDF for VDP
The Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 brings the
benefits of a PDF workflow to VDP production.
PDF+Metadata+JDF
PDF/VT supports a metadata structure that enables
PDF-based VDP workflows
♦ recipient postal codes, cover pages vs. inside pages, etc.
CIP4 defined standardized metadata fields for
PDF/VT
The PDF Print Engine will be able to match those
settings with the document part metadata in the
PDF/VT file through JDF

PDF/VT : Architecture
JDF base communication
Record information is embedded into PDF/VT
No need to go back to Database to reprint

PDF/VT strengths
PDF/VT is an open standard (ISO 16612-2)
PDF/VT is vendor and device-independent
PDF/VT could be used for electronic archiving of
customer records
♦ e.g. for monitor display of an exact representation of
a printed statement to a customer

Why PDF/VT
PDF/VT is a modern PDF format that builds on
new ISO standards for print job exchange
♦ PDF/VT files can be transferred to another device or
workflow without the need to regenerate the file
Device-independent VDP format
♦ High output consistency, “blind” file exchanges, and
PDF-based proofing
PDF/VT allows you to create VDP content
without any graphic compromises

Productivity
The Truepress Jet520ZZ provides high-speed
output of up to 220 meters (3000 pages p/m) per
minute.
The system’s EQUIOS drive module helps
minimize lead-time, allowing you to start printing
faster and giving you better operating ratios.
