Verify a PDF against PDF/X, PDF/A, PDF/VT, or PDF/E criteria
PDF/X, PDF/A, PDF/VT, and PDF/E files can be created in various ways, such as by using Acrobat Distiller or the File
> Save As Other command. If you open a PDF that conforms to one of these standards, you can view the standards
information in the Navigation pane. (Choose View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes, and then click the
Standards
.) The Standards menu and panel are available only if the PDF conforms to a standard. The Standards
panel is present in all versions (DC, Std, and even Reader). However, Verify Conformation functionality is only present
in Acrobat DC.
The Conformance information indicates the standard used to create the file, the ISO name, and whether the file has
been verified as PDF/X-, PDF/A-, PDF/VT-, PDF/UA-, or PDF/E-compliant. The Output Intent information indicates
the color settings associated with the file. To verify the standards conformance for the file, click Verify Conformance.
Remove PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E information
You can remove all PDF/X-, PDF/A-, or PDF/E-specific information, such as the output condition or the GTS_PDFX
version key. This action is useful if a file has been modified, if you want to start over, or if an ICC profile increases the
file size too much.
