About PDF/VT file formats

The PDF/VT file format is designed to enable variable document
printing (VDP) in a variety of environments. PDF/VT documents
contain the final content elements and associated metadata, but
not any variables or templates. The predecessor standard ISO
16612-1:2005 specified the PPML/VDX formats based on PDF
1.4. However, this older standard was missing several PDF
features and relied on constructs external to PDF. The modern
standard PDF/VT is based on the PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-5
standards and supports PDF 1.6 features including transparency,
layers, and ICC-based color management. In addition to the
requirements of PDF/X, the PDF/VT standard adds supplementary
features to PDF to meet the requirements of high-volume
personalized printing. PDF/VT enables high-performance
rendering (RIPing) of digital print files by adding efficient resource
management to PDF.

As PDF/X includes color management features and support for
ICC color profiles, PDF/VT inherits the same features.

The IC-312 print controller supports the following PDF/VT file
formats:

PDF/VT1

PDF/VT2

PDF/X4pg

PDF/X5g

Deleting reusable elements

Variable data printing (VDP) elements that are no longer in use
take up valuable disk space on the IC-312 print controller. To free
up disk space, you can delete the reusable elements that you no
longer need.

The IC-312 print controller caches reusable elements per job, and
displays a list of the cached elements in the Reusable Elements
management
area in the Resource Center. Reusable elements
are cached as PDL elements.

Note: The Reusable Elements Management tool is only available with the
Action Pack.
