About PDF/VT file formats 219 About PDF/VT file formats The PDF/VT file format is designed to enable variable document printing (VDP) in a variety of environments. PDF/VT documents contain the final content elements and associated metadata, but not any variables or templates. The predecessor standard ISO 16612-1:2005 specified the PPML/VDX formats based on PDF 1.4. However, this older standard was missing several PDF features and relied on constructs external to PDF. The modern standard PDF/VT is based on the PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5 standards and supports PDF 1.6 features including transparency, layers, and ICC-based color management. In addition to the requirements of PDF/X, the PDF/VT standard adds supplementary features to PDF to meet the requirements of high-volume personalized printing. PDF/VT enables high-performance rendering (RIPing) of digital print files by adding efficient resource management to PDF. As PDF/X includes color management features and support for ICC color profiles, PDF/VT inherits the same features. The IC-314 print controller supports the following PDF/VT file formats: ● PDF/VT1 ● PDF/VT2 Note: In case a PDF/VT file does not meet Adobe's PDF/VT standards, the file will fail during import. In this case, you can import and process the PDF/ VT file as a regular PDF file (ignoring the file's booklet structure) by using the Import PDF/VT as PDF option in the File menu. Deleting reusable elements Variable data printing (VDP) elements that are no longer in use take up valuable disk space on the IC-314 print controller. If the Delete elements after all related jobs are deleted check box is selected on the Preferences > Deletion Policy tab, reusable elements associated with your job(s) will automatically be deleted when all jobs using those elements are deleted. Clear the check box to manage/delete the reusable elements manually. The IC-314 print controller caches reusable elements per job, and displays a list of the cached elements in the Reusable Elements management area in the Resource Center. Reusable elements are cached as PDL elements.

About PDF/VT file formats

The PDF/VT file format is designed to enable variable document

printing (VDP) in a variety of environments. PDF/VT documents

contain the final content elements and associated metadata, but

not any variables or templates. The predecessor standard ISO

16612-1:2005 specified the PPML/VDX formats based on PDF

1.4. However, this older standard was missing several PDF

features and relied on constructs external to PDF. The modern

standard PDF/VT is based on the PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5

standards and supports PDF 1.6 features including transparency,

layers, and ICC-based color management. In addition to the

requirements of PDF/X, the PDF/VT standard adds supplementary

features to PDF to meet the requirements of high-volume

personalized printing. PDF/VT enables high-performance

rendering (RIPing) of digital print files by adding efficient resource

management to PDF.

As PDF/X includes color management features and support for

ICC color profiles, PDF/VT inherits the same features.

The IC-314 print controller supports the following PDF/VT file

formats:

●

PDF/VT1

●

PDF/VT2

Note:

In case a PDF/VT file does not meet Adobe’s PDF/VT standards, the

file will fail during import. In this case, you can import and process the PDF/

VT file as a regular PDF file (ignoring the file’s booklet structure) by using the

Import PDF/VT as PDF

option in the

File

menu.

Deleting reusable elements

Variable data printing (VDP) elements that are no longer in use

take up valuable disk space on the IC-314 print controller.

If the

Delete elements after all related jobs are deleted

check

box is selected on the

Preferences

Deletion Policy

tab,

reusable elements associated with your job(s) will automatically be

deleted when all jobs using those elements are deleted. Clear the

check box to manage/delete the reusable elements manually.

The IC-314 print controller caches reusable elements per job, and

displays a list of the cached elements in the

Reusable Elements

are cached as PDL elements.
