Create PDF/X-4 conforming output with layer variants and transparency.
A low-level layer is created for each of several languages, as well as an image layer. Each of the language layers together with the image layer forms a "layer variant" according to PDF/X-4 (in Acrobat layer variants are called "configurations"). This ensures that low-level layers cannot be enabled/disabled individually, but only via the corresponding layer variant. This prevents accidental printing of a language layer without the required image layer.
The document contains transparent text which is allowed in PDF/X-4, but not earlier PDF/X standards.
