3. From the Adobe PDF Preset drop-down menu, select PDF/X-1a:2001.
The PDF/X-1a format converts all data contained in the document to CMYK. This conversion does not
impact the workflow, since all content in the InDesign CS2 document is already CMYK.
4. Choose Output. By default, Adobe Creative Suite 2 components set Color Conversion
to Convert to Destination (Preserve Color Numbers) and Destination to Document
CMYK—U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2.
Note: To preserve CMYK color numbers and avoid unwanted conversions, do not
change the default Output settings for the Color Conversion and Destination, which are
Convert to Destination (Preserve Color Numbers) and Document CMYK—U.S. Web
Coated (SWOP) v2.
Note: The PDF/X-1a standard does not permit embedded profiles in the body of the PDF
file. However, it does require that the CMYK profile used to create the document or a
reference to a standard printing condition be included in the Output Intent Dictionary
of the PDF file.
Package your InDesign CS2 document
If you are delivering native files along with the InDesign CS2 document for the printer,
select File>Package. InDesign CS2 collects all the images, graphics, and fonts, and
places them in a folder with the InDesign document.
