Summary
The main feature of this release is the work PTC has done on PDF standards. In the PDF print options dialogue you’ll see a few changes:
- The ‘General’ tab now has a ‘Color Profiles’ area where you can specify the default color profiles to apply to the PDF for different color models.
- The ‘Linked images’ selector now has a ‘Passthrough’ option which tells APP to pass any linked images directly through to the PDF creation library, effectively maintaining any color profiles applied to that image.
- There is a new ‘Standards’ tab which features selectors for PDF/X and PDF/A standards. You can select the level of compliance you want to aim for there. You must make sure that all your other settings comply with that standard.
- Also on the ‘Standards’ tab are options to apply an output intent.
- You will also notice a ‘Security’ tab in the PDF options. This allows you to set passwords and permissions for your PDF
