Are you accessible?

In different parts of the world, rules around accessible documents and when you are required to supply them, exist under different names. As an example, in North America people will talk about section 508 or WCAG AA, in Europe, they might refer to the EU accessibility directive. But whatever the name, they usually do the same thing: they establish specific rules different documents must follow to be labeled accessible. And for PDF documents, those rules boil down to compliance with the ISO stand

Is ZUGFeRD 2.0 just as easy to use as its predecessor or any other data formats for e-invoices?

Since 2014, methodical voluntary work has been done in the field of electronic invoice format in terms of ZUGFeRD. Although, this term, ZUGFeRD, should be known to most of you, especially here in Europe, this is how the Forum of Electronic Invoice Germany defines ZUGFeRD: As a hybrid data format, ZUGFeRD integrates structured invoice data in XML format into a PDF document (PDF/A-3). This means that the invoice is always sent in the form of a PDF document, which represents the visible component o

SVG font issues in prepress production - and what that has to do with recent ISO meetings

Last week in Toronto, we discussed a dated revision for PDF 2.0 (dated revision means that it will not have a new version number) which has been a ‘work in progress’ since 2017 when PDF 2.0 first came out. We think it is in a really good shape resolving all issues that were reported since then (measured by the roughly 1000 pages not many, but still more than enough to do this update). We therefore decided to send it to, hopefully, a last (DIS) ballot which is always 5 months. That means that mos

Powerful coexistence of AFP and PDF

The question of data exchange between print data creators and processors has been answered with PDF for the entire graphic arts industry ... wait ... there is actually one industry, the customer communication management (that we Germans call "output management”), which resists and is sticking to the Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) developed by IBM (known as Advanced Function Printing until 1995). What are the reasons? One certainly is that many variable data printing applications are (still

Advanced mathematics for better (context aware) preflight

Let me illustrate the problem first. On the right hand side, you can see a blue rectangle and a red circle. If I use a traditional preflight software on a document with this rectangle and circle, it can definitely (well considering it's a somewhat good software) answer questions like: whether there are any blue objects... whether there are any red objects... how many blue or red objects are there in this document... whether their colors are correct... whether the objects are of a particular type
