A second edition of the popular guide to variable data printing ‘Full Speed Ahead: How to make variable data PDF files that won’t slow your digital press’ is published today by Global Graphics. It has been updated to include several new International Standards that were published towards the end of 2020 including a “dated revision” (a second edition) of the PDF 2.0 standard, a new standard for submission of PDF files for production printing: PDF/X-6, and a new standard for submission of variable data PDF files for printing: PDF/VT-3.

MyQ has integrated Mako into its job management software to provide users with job preview options before a document is released from the print queue. Prior to integrating Mako, customers needed to purchase extra software if they wanted to grant preview options to their users.

The Mako(TM) SDK adds value to the Racami transactional workflow by cleaning up PDF files from
multiple sources seamlessly before onward multi-channel processing. Racami’s solution is used by
direct marketers, transactional processors, book publishers, governments and corporations.

Which PDF/X should I use? Both are ISO standards that deliberately restrict some aspects of what you can put into a PDF file in order to make them more reliable for delivery of jobs for professional print. But the two standards address different needs/desires.
