PDF/X- and PDF/A-compliant files
About PDF/X and PDF/A standards
PDF/X and PDF/A standards are defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). PDF/X
standards apply to graphic content exchange; PDF/A standards apply to long-term archiving of electronic
documents. During PDF conversion, the file that is being processed is checked against the specified standard. If the
PDF will not meet the selected ISO standard, a message appears, asking you to choose between canceling the
conversion or going ahead with the creation of a non-compliant file.
The most widely used standards for a print publishing workflow are several PDF/X formats: PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3,
and (in 2007) PDF/X-4. The most widely used standards for PDF archiving are PDF/A-1a and PDF/A-1b (for less
stringent requirements).
Note: For more information on PDF/X and PDF/A, see the
Convert PDFs to PDF/X or PDF/A
You can validate PDF content against PDF/X or PDF/A criteria and save a copy of the PDF as PDF/X or PDF/A,
provided it complies with the specified requirements. For example, under certain circumstances, an ICC profile that
describes the destination device is required for PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, and PDF/X-4 compliance. If your document
doesn't have an embedded ICC output profile, you can embed one before saving.
Note: You can also create PDF/X- and PDF/A-compliant files using Acrobat Distiller.
The PDF/X or PDF/A icon at the lower left of the Preflight dialog box indicates the PDF/X or PDF/A status of the
current document.
