Whereas a regular PDF only contains Acrobat metadata, an Enfocus Certified PDF document
contains a lot of additional information ("Enfocus metadata") related to the preflight
process, such as the preflight settings and the version history.
Acrobat metadata
Any regular PDF document contains metadata, i.e. information about the
document itself. The Document Properties dialog
box of Adobe Acrobat,
for example, includes the following metadata:
- Creation and modification date of the PDF document
- The application with which the PDF document was created
- The PDF version
- File size
- The name and path of the PDF file
- Number of pages
- Page size
Enfocus metadata
An Enfocus
Certified PDF document can be enriched with the following metadata:
- A reference to one or more source documents on which the PDF document
was based
- A Preflight Profile
- A Preflight Report
- User and system identification
- An edit log, listing all the changes done in the PDF document per editing session (the time in
which the PDF document was opened, edited and saved). It contains all previous versions of a
file and allows you to save back to an older version.
- Session comments
