The Ghent Workgroup (GWG) announces the availability of a new whitepaper, PDF Aggregation: What you need to know. "PDF aggregation” refers to placing of one or more PDF file(s) inside another document that will then itself be saved as a PDF. An example would be placing a PDF of a half-page ad in an InDesign editorial page of a magazine for print publication. Eventually, that page will be saved as a PDF for output, and that final PDF page will contain the half-page ad that was placed as a PDF. PDF aggregation can be done manually or via workflow automation. PDF aggregation is common in workflows that include Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress; in imposition software such as Kodak Preps and EFI Metrix; and in publishing systems, such as Adobe Digital Publishing Suite and the Quark Publishing Platform.
