Using the PDF/X Preflight filter
PDF/X (PDF Exchange) Preflight is a subset of Adobe PDF designed specifically for prepress
data interchange. It defines how applications that read and create PDF/X files should behave.
Two PDF/X standards are commonly used:
•
PDF/X-1a standard:
only CMYK (and/or spot colors), with no RGB or device independent (color-managed)
data.
• This standard meets all the requirements of a PDF/X-1a, but contains device
PDF/X3:
independent (color-managed) data.
The PDF/X Preflight filter allows you to verify that a PDF document is PDF/X-compliant
with either the PDF/X-1a or PDF/X3 standard. If the PDF file is not PDF/X-compliant, the
job fails to process and an error report appears.
