The Total Package

After examining PostScript 3 and Extreme technologies from Adobe, it was obvious Agfa should use the PDF as its internal file type, as it retained all the advantages of PostScript. Spot colors and CMYK scans could be represented in PDF, and those can be edited. Also, PJTF, or Adobe's Portable Job Ticket Format offers compelling advantages. Where PDF contains the "content" of a design (type, logos & images), PJTF contains the "controls" of how that PDF file will be processed (line screen, dot gain & other device settings). PJTF is applied to PDFs during the rendering process within the Agfa RIP.
