    When we need to create a PDF for final output, many of us need to target a very specific PDF output format (like PDF/X or PDF/A) in order to adhere to standards imposed by the receiving party (like a web or offset printer or website). In order to make...

    Certain documents that are delivered to shareholders by publicly traded companies continue to integrate more and more styled content. While content that used large type sizes was often static, designs are now incorporating content that needs to be edited...

    With PDF Direct we have a very nice and easy way of adding bookmarks and annotations to our PDF using the -xpp-pdf-.... properties. The attr() function adds some flexibility to those. But sometimes that is not enough. Sometimes you just that extra thing...

    Something that had not occurred to me until someone (from SDL!) mentioned it. In the item format world we have font heights such as 10q and widths as 46p etc and these then display as such in the Status Window. However when using CSS-XML we need to enter...

    The new Direct PDF option is great. It allows you to create UA pdfs, create bookmarks in a much simpler way, bypasses the sometimes gigantic PS files and it is quick. However is does have a downside as well. You have no control over the created PDF. You...

    A need for a job ticket at the CLS level has come up. Would the following be an enhancement that SDL would consider? Store a job ticket at the CLS level. When creating a new job in a given CLS - use the CLS level job ticket only if a GRP job ticket...
