Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: New poll for EnergyPlus_Support

Linda,

You would probably want to use PDF/X-1a.  I believe that X-2 and X-3 differ from X-1a only in that they accept calibrated color schemes (RGB and CIE in X-2 and X-3 respectively).

As I mentioned in the last email, PDF/X-1a does not let you include dynamic content, but if your purpose of the poll was to determine what version of Acrobat to use as a target for EnergyPlus  documentation, I think the answer is simple: generate for PDF/X1-a because it  is the International standard for archival documentation.  It's as standard as you can get.

That would be X-1a or X-3?  Either limit you to Acrobat 5 reader according to the Word/PDFMaker from Acrobat.

You should generate documents in PDF/X, the ISO standard archival PDF format that is specifically designed for archival documentation.  It can be read by nearly every reader, new or old.

All the recent versions of Adobe tools and most other third party tools will generate PDF/X
