Adobe Creative Suite 5 Printing Guide 3
Chapter 1: Common Resources
The integration between components in the Creative Suite 5 family
allows for such productivity enhancing features as shared color
management settings, common PDF presets files, shared color
swatches, and the ability to use native filessuch as Photoshop .psd,
Illustrator .ai, Acrobat .pdf, and even InDesign .indd formatsas
artwork. Since there is so much “common ground,” this section
addresses features and issues that are the same across many of the
Creative Suite 5 components.

The Adobe PDF Print Engine is not a shrink-wrapped product. It is a
printing platform based on PDF and other Adobe core technologies.
OEM RIPs and workflow systems incorporating the PDF Print Engine
can process PDF files natively (without converting data to PostScript® or
a proprietary intermediate format), thus maintaining live transparency.
Being able to use native, unconverted (and unflattened) PDF files
throughout a workflow provides a complete, end-to-end PDF
environment that uses common technology to generate, preview, and
print PDF files.
The Adobe PDF Print Engine combines the strengths of Adobe PDF for
content definition and the Job Description Format (JDF) standard for
job ticketing and process control in powering RIP and workflow
systems. Available in printing systems from Adobe print solution
partners, the Adobe PDF Print Engine enhances output consistency
throughout the workflow, improving overall print productivity and
profitability. Adobe PDF Print Engine 2 extends these benefits to
production workflows for Variable Data Printing (VDP) used in
personalized publishing (e.g. direct marketing), and output to a digital
color press, via the new PDF/VT ISO standard.

who market RIPs and workflow systems incorporating it, see http://
