Let me put this into a table, for sake of clarity:
Code: Select all
PDF/A => IO_XmpMetadata + IO_OUTPUTPDFA8
PDF/X-1 => IO_XmpMetadata + IO_OUTPUTPDFA8 + IO_OUTPUTPDFX1
PDF/X-3 => IO_XmpMetadata + IO_OUTPUTPDFA8 + IO_OUTPUTPDFX1 + IO_OUTPUTPDFX3
Besides that I know that I'll have to enable (at least partial) font embedding and multilanguage support for those formats to work and that I'll be able to create such formats only starting from the v2.51 (PDF/A) or v3.01 (PDF/X) version of the drivers.
Are the "NoPreCompressed" and "ConvertToCmyk" ImageOptions mandatory in order to create valid PDF/A or PDF/X files?
And..last but not least: how can I tell whether a PDF I created is a PDF/A, PDF/X-1 or PDF/X-3?
Are there any tools able to verify they comply with such standards?
Thank you so much!
