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

The first two can be checked in a good ASCII editor.

Look for "/ICCBased" to find out if an image (XObject) has a reference
to an ICC profile.

If you find the string "/DCTDecode" in the PDF you have lossy image
compression somewhere.

I don't understand what exactly you need here.

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.
