Hi, thank you for this information. It was really helpful. I am writing my thesis about "CrossMedia-Publishing of productcatalogs", during my studies I try to find out, whether FOP is a suitable tool to produce PDF for Prepress. So I try to find out whether my generated PDF (with FOP) has the right properties.
It's difficult to write the technical terms in english. - Can FOP produce PDF including trim marks? - Can FOP produce PDF including prepress parameters, like for example "overprinting"? thank you very much for your help, daniela ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremias Maerki" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 10:08 AM Subject: Re: PDF properties?

Do you really just want to find out where a PDF has the above properties or do you want to control these properties? I hope that helps.
