What is PPML/VDX?

PPML/VDX is a standard that specifies a way to use information in PPML format and PDF format for the exchange or identification of the elements needed to render a variable-data-publishing job as intended by the person or entity that created it.

Formerly known as "VDX," PPML/VDX technology allows electronic-publishing software to package the information needed to produce a variable-data-printing job (or a variable-data-publishing job) inside one or more PDF files.
