This document describes a method for storing data in a PDF file that correspond to the processing steps of printed products. This method has three parts:

  1. metadata identifying processing steps;

  2. limitations on the interaction between PDF graphics objects that are part of a processing step and other PDF graphics objects;

  3. limitations on PDF graphics objects in processing steps.

This method is intended to be generic, i.e. not specific to packaging and labels.

In addition, this document defines the following packaging- and label-specific groups of processing-steps data:

  • data corresponding to finishing steps, such as cutting, folding or glueing;

  • Braille;

  • information panels;

  • indications of physical dimensions;

  • indications of intended positions of graphical elements;

  • printed white, for example on transparent or metallic surfaces;

  • printed varnish.
