PDF/X is a subset of the PDF ISO standard.
PDF/X-1a:2003 has now become an ISO standard: ISO 15930-4:2003 norm for Electronic document file format for long-term preservation. This is a revision of PDF/X-1a:2001 based on PDF 1.4
PDF/X-3:2003 has now become an ISO standard: ISO 15930-6:2003 norm for Electronic document file format for long-term preservation. This is a revision of PDF/X-3:2002 based on PDF 1.4
The main constraints that are placed on PDF files include:
All fonts must be embedded with Unicode conversion tables
All images need to be grayscale, CMYK or named spot colors. Only PDF/X-3 accepts other Colorspaces like RGB or LAB.
Images without any transparency.
The Open Prepress Interface (OPI) is not allowed.
Audio and video content, Javascript, AutoPrint and encryption are forbidden.
Annotations only can be outside of the bleed area.
an ICC color profile needed.
PDF files should contain XMP based metadata.
To enable PDF/X when converting documents using PDF Converter, you should set the following flags in the imageOptions property or function call:
ImageOptions |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
IO_XMPMETADATA |
Add XMP metadata to PDF files (can be used independently of PDF/A). |
0x00000010 |
IO_CONVERTTOCMYK |
Convert RGB colors to CMYK. Only mandatory to the PDF/X-1a |
0x00000004 |
IO_OUTPUTPDFX1 |
Create PDF files that conform to the PDF/X-1a standard. |
0x00000080 |
IO_OUTPUTPDFX3 |
Create PDF files that conform to the PDF/X-3 standard. |
0x00000100 |
And these following flags in the FileNameOptionsEx property or function call:
FileNameOptionsEx |
Description |
Value |
|---|---|---|
EmbedFonts |
Enable embedding of fonts used in the source document. |
0x00000010 |
MultilingualSupport |
Add supports for international character sets. |
0x00000080 |
EmbedStandardFonts |
Embed standard fonts such as Arial, Times, etc. |
0x00200000 |
EmbedLicensedFonts |
Embed fonts requiring a license. |
0x00400000 |
ImageOptions = IO_OUTPUTPDFX1 | IO_XMPMETADATA;
FileNameOptionsEx = NoPrompt | EmbedFonts | MultilingualSupport | EmbedStandardFonts | EmbedLicensedFonts | FullEmbed;
SetDefaultConfig
ImageOptions = IO_IO_OUTPUTPDFX3 | IO_XMPMETADATA;
FileNameOptionsEx = NoPrompt | EmbedFonts | MultilingualSupport | EmbedStandardFonts | EmbedLicensedFonts | FullEmbed;
SetDefaultConfig
Having 2 separate flags will enable the developer to output XMP Metadata independently of PDF/X compatibility. In addition, the developer should always set Multilingual support and partial font embedding so that the fonts get properly embedded.
For Unicode fonts, full font embedding (FullEmbed) should NOT be used. This is because Unicode font files are usually very large, and will result in very large file sizes.
In order to succeed with PDF/X document creation is important to follow this:
Include the options of embedFonts, MultilingualSupport, EmbedStandardFonts and EmbedLicensedFonts in the FileNameOptionsEx property.
Not to use the option of IO_COMPRESSJBIG2 in the ImageOptions propriety nor JPEG2000Compression in the FileNameOptionsEx property.
Include IO_CONVERTTOCMYK for PDF/X-1a option.
Any kind of Encryption will not comply with PDF/X standards.
To generate PDF files with CMYK content, a color profile should be attached to the printer; this can be done either manually from the printers’ panel, or through the SetColorProfile helper function. The ICC profile is usually supplied by the printer manufacturer. Microsoft provides a standard CMYK ICC profile that can be used; the Microsoft profile is located under: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/display/color/CMYK_Profile.mspx.
Amyuni also provides a standard CMYK profile under: https://www.amyuni.com/downloads/AmyuniCMYK.icc.
The best color profile remains the one supplied by the printer manufacturer of the destination printer.
The Evaluation License adds a watermark which breaks the PDF/X specification. Only the Full License will give you a proper PDF/X file.
