Reply To: Composite PDF PC format

Someone who doesn't know what he's talking about?

“Composite”, that makes sense in a color workflow — i.e., don't send a color separated file. “PDF” speaks for itself. But “PC”!? PDF files have always been platform independent. There are a few other file formats that claim platform independence, such as InDesign (its files still contain a marker for Intel/Motorola byte order), but for PDFs it never has been an issue.

“PC” might stand for something entirely different, though. “Politically Correct” comes to mind — that would make sense, in a media environment :-D “Please ensure your advert is p.c.”
