This document describes a method for storing data in a PDF file that correspond to the processing steps of printed products. This method has three parts:<\/p>\n
metadata identifying processing steps;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
limitations on the interaction between PDF graphics objects that are part of a processing step and other PDF graphics objects;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
limitations on PDF graphics objects in processing steps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
This method is intended to be generic, i.e. not specific to packaging and labels.<\/p>\n
In addition, this document defines the following packaging- and label-specific groups of processing-steps data:<\/p>\n
data corresponding to finishing steps, such as cutting, folding or glueing;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Braille;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
information panels;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
indications of physical dimensions;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
indications of intended positions of graphical elements;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
printed white, for example on transparent or metallic surfaces;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
printed varnish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
