Pensord's angle on PDF Standards

We understand the frustration experienced by publishers when preparing a job for print. Which job option should be used? Is there a specific standard which needs to be followed? Can I send files to the next printer using the job options from the previous job? Will this printer ensure all overprints knockout or do I need to ensure I configure my files correctly?

With this in mind, Pensord is very eager to ensure that each client has the choice to utilise either the Pensord standard (Acrobat 5 - ZIP (1.33 K) or Acrobat 6 - ZIP (4.58 K)), based around the PDF/X-1a:2001 specification, or any of the standards below:

PASS4PRESS - UK STANDARD FROM THE PPA

GHENT PDF WORKGROUP - EUROPEAN STANDARD

PDF/X-1a GLOBAL STANDARD (COURTESY OF DDAP)
