Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Internation
16、al organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules
17、 given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at le

23、 exchange of files between graphic arts establishments. It is a multi-part document where each part is intended to respond to different workflow requirements. These workflows differ in the degree of flexibility required. However, increasing flexibility can lead to the possibility of uncertainty or e
24、rror. The goal throughout the various parts of ISO 15930 has been to maintain the degree of flexibility required while minimizing the uncertainty. Many printed documents are assemblies of partial pages and/or pages created at different locations and by different organizations. The merging of these i
25、ndividual elements into the final printing form and the subsequent printing can take place at different locations. Some of these elements might also be routed to multiple sites for incorporation into other documents. Each of these elements is referred to in ISO 15930 as a compound entity. A variety
26、of data formats and structures are used for the creation of this type of material, but with two prevalent kinds of underlying data structures. These are vector-based data for the encoding of line art and textual information and raster-based data for the encoding of image information, including previ
27、ously rasterized line art and textual information. Both kinds of data structures are required along with page description information in an open electronic workflow. The exchange of raster-based data using the TIFF/IT file format is defined in ISO 12639. The subject of ISO 15930 is a format for the
28、exchange of object-based data where individual objects can be in either vector or raster data structures. The various parts of ISO 15930 define a number of conformance levels intended to address different requirements; all define data formats and their usage to permit the predictable dissemination o
29、f a compound entity to one or more locations. These goals are accomplished by defining a specific use of the publicly available Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). In order to achieve a level of exchange that avoids any ambiguity in interpretation of the file, a limited set of PDF objects that are
30、 permitted to be used is identified and restrictions to the use, or form of use, of those objects, and/or keys within those objects are added. In some environments, the data exchange needs to be in a form ready for final print reproduction, by transfer of a single file. This file contains all the co
31、ntent information necessary to process and render the document, as intended by the sender, coded inside a single PDF file. No other files, neither external files nor internally embedded files, are required or permitted. This exchange requires no prior knowledge of the sending and receiving environme
32、nts and is sometimes referred to as “complete” or “blind” exchange. It is platform-independent and transport-independent. Whereas many production workflows benefit from the exchange of complete material, with all elements present, there are circumstances when this is not appropriate. In certain work
33、flows, some or all of the referenced elements might be more logically present at the receiving site, or might be exchanged at a different time. These include high-resolution contone-image files, line-art files, ICC profiles, etc. These exchanges will generally require prior agreement between sender
34、and receiver. In some environments the exchange has to be restricted to CMYK (and spot colour) data, whilst in others it is more appropriate to convey it as colour-managed, CMYK, gray, RGB, and/or spot colour, or to use alternative process colour models. Several new versions of the PDF specification
35、 have been issued since the publication of ISO 15930-1 in 2001. More recent parts of ISO 15930 expand on and extend earlier parts by reference to later versions of the PDF specification. BS ISO 15930-8:2010 ISO 15930-8:2010 (E) ISO 2011 vi Table 1 summarizes the conformance levels defined in the var
36、ious parts of ISO 15930.

38、.6 This part of ISO 15930 complements the other parts by defining a data format and its usage to permit the predictable dissemination of a compound entity to one or more locations, as colour-managed data, CMYK data, and/or spot colour data, by transfer of a file with some elements not included, but
39、with provision for unique identification. An exchange identified by this part of ISO 15930 might require communication between sender and receiver to select the mechanism by which elements not included can be identified. This part of ISO 15930 specifies PDF/X-5 conformance levels, which can be seen
40、as expansions and extensions of the PDF/X-4 and PDF/X-4p conformance levels defined in ISO 15930-7, in that it allows the use of an n-colorant print characterization, and allows some data necessary for final printing to be supplied externally to the main file being exchanged, as follows. PDF/X-4 req
41、uires all raster and vector data to be imaged on the final print to be included within the single file being exchanged; PDF/X-5 allows such data to be held in external files. This allows the use of workflows similar to those using Open Prepress Interchange (OPI) comments in PostScript, or OPI object
42、s in baseline PDF. These can have value in reducing the demands on design applications and the computers that they are used on, by allowing designers to work with low-resolution versions of images. They also enable parallel processing of work on an image or other graphic, and the page onto which it
43、will be placed. In a publication or newsprint workflow, they allow advertising and editorial submissions to be composited together late in the workflow, without requiring that files submitted by third parties be amended in any way before the final prepress processes. PDF/X-4 is restricted to prepara
44、tion for a gray, RGB or CMYK print characterization. PDF/X-5 enables the use of n-colorant print characterizations, using colorant sets that differ from or expand on gray, RGB or CMYK. The technical mechanism by which this is achieved requires that the ICC profile for the print characterization be e
45、xternal to the exchanged file. In all cases, this part of ISO 15930 places restrictions on the external data, and requirements for metadata within the exchanged file that provide for an unambiguous determination as to whether the external data has been correctly associated with the PDF/X-5 file duri
46、ng processing after the exchange. These differences from PDF/X-4 provide benefit in a variety of different sets of circumstances. Three conformance levels are therefore defined in this part of ISO 15930, as follows. PDF/X-5g External graphical content. PDF/X-5n External output intent ICC profiles fo
47、r n-colorant print characterizations. BS ISO 15930-8:2010 ISO 15930-8:2010 (E) ISO 2011 vii PDF/X-5pg External graphical content and external output intent ICC profiles describing a characterized printing condition using a gray, RGB or CMYK process colour model. This conformance level makes use of m
48、echanisms defined in the PDF/X-4p conformance level specified in ISO 15930-7. No conformance level defining the use of n-colorant printing conditions in combination with external graphical content is defined. Thus, a file that requires external ICC profiles for use in the output intent, and external content data to be identified is a “PDF/X-5pg file”. A reader capable of processing a file that requires compositing with external
