*) the Ghent PDF Workgroup (GWG) is an international platform for the development of process specifications for graphic workflows (www.gwg.org).
These specifications are designed to guarantee completely reliable production from photography through to printing.
This is achieved by checking various graphic parameters with best practice criteria.
As from January 2010, the GWG specifications were updated from version 1v3 to 1v4, based (as before) on PDF/X-1a, the ISO-15930 specification for graphical industry use of PDF 1.3
