TIP 52: Making a Document PDF/X Compliant

PDF-X is the print standard used in PDF and PostScript files to ensure the document meets criteria for high-resolution printing. Unless you're creating an Adobe PDF document for print production, you can ignore the PDF/X options.

Note

You can't create a PDF/X-compliant document using PDFMaker.

Choose Advanced > Preflight or click the Preflight icon on the Print Production toolbar to open the Preflight dialog. If you choose one of the profiles that require PDF/X-compliance, such as Magazine Ads, the compliance status of the document is defined automatically. All the listings in the Preflight dialog's Profiles list in bold type require PDF/X-compliance.

To convert the active document to a PDF/X-compliant document, click the Convert to PDF/X icon at the lower left of the Preflight dialog. The Preflight: Convert to PDF/X dialog opens (Figure 52a). Choose a proposed conversion option, either PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3, select an output condition from the pull-down list, and specify a trapped key option. Click OK to close the dialog and start the processing.

A message dialog displays to tell you whether the conversion was successful (Figure 52b). Click OK to close the dialog and display the results in the Preflight dialog (Figure 52c). Click the (+) signs to the left of any error message to display more detailed information. You can also see the error in the Preflight: Snap View dialog.
