Adobe Light vs. Adobe PDF Print Engine

Both Adobe Light and Adobe PDF Print Engine fully support PS and PDF files and guarantee accuracy in gradients and transparencies. Adobe PDF Print Engine provides additional features (FineLine Rendering) and hardware speed optimization.

Support of gradients	✓	✓
Support of transparencies	✓	✓
Multi-page PDF	✓*	✓
FineLine Rendering		✓
