About this training

Summary

This document defines the PDF/ VT-3 document format and methods to enable reliable document
exchange for variable data and transactional (VT) printing. It uses the Portable Document Format
(PDF) Version 2.0, as restricted by PDF/ X-6, for the representation of such documents. It allows the
specification of document structure and layout, content data, and interaction of graphics objects in a
graphics model that supports transparency and both device-dependent and device-independent colour
spaces. All elements are either included or provision is made for unique identification of externally
supplied ICC profiles.
PDF/ VT-3 is designed to enable variable data and transactional printing in a variety of environments
from desktop printers to digital production presses. This includes hybrid workflows involving both
conventional and digital printing.
