Overview of the PDF/A and PDF/X Standards
Introduction to PDF/A and PDF/X Standards
PDF/A and PDF/X are standards that are specialized versions of the PDF document format for specific usage, specifically long-
term archival and graphic art printing.
The PDF/X standard ensures that graphic art files will be reproduced on press exactly as the files’ creator intended them to be,
regardless of the platforms, operating systems, color spaces, font systems, file formats and medias.
The PDF/A standard provides “a mechanism for representing electronic documents in a manner that preserves their visual
appearance over time, regardless of the tools and systems used for creating, storing or rending the files” (From ISO 19005-1).
Both these standards will become available in PlanetPress Suite Version 7.
Basic Features
A new option in the
PlanetPress Image Output
plugin and the
Digital Action
Action plugin, under the
PDF
tab, will allow users
create their PlanetPress Image PDF using either PDF/X or PDF/A standards.
This option will only be available for PDF file outputs.
The following standards will be supported:
l PDF/A-1b:2005 (CMYK)
l PDF/A-1b:2005 (RGB)
l PDF/X-1a:2001
l PDF/X-1a:2003
l PDF/X-3:2002
l PDF/X-3:2003
Other notes:
l Digital Signature is not supported with PDF/X.
l Encryption is not supported with PDF/A and PDF/X.
l Because of mandatory font embedding with these standards, all fonts must be available locally; otherwise creation of
either PDF/X or PDF/A will fail.
PrintShop Mail
Once you have imported PrintShop Mail documents (see Import Documents) to your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools work-
station, you can use PrintShop Mail action tasks to output the job file with a selected PrintShop Mail document. PrintShop Mail
action tasks let you print as well as generate PostScript or PDF files. The PrintShop Mail and PrintShop Mail 7 action tasks are
