Working with PDF Styles
Use the the Edit PDF Style dialog box to create or edit EPS output styles. To display the
Edit PDF Style dialog box, choose PDF from the New drop-down button or click Edit or
Duplicate in the Default Output Styles dialog box (Server/QuarkXPress Server >
Document Controls > Output Styles).
Edit PDF Style dialog box
In the PDF Style field, enter a name for a new PDF output style or rename an existing PDF
output style.
To create PDF files that adhere to the PDF/X standard, choose an option from the
Verification drop-down menu:
PDF/X1a: 2001: Choose this option to create PDF files that adhere to the PDF/X1a
specification.
PDF/X3: 2002: Choose this option to create PDF files that adhere to the PDF/X3
specification.
The PDF/X 1a and PDF/X 3 specifications are subsets of the widely accepted PDF/X standard
for print submission. Each PDF/X type contains its own set of restrictions as to what is or
is not acceptable in a PDF. The PDF/X 3 standard is a superset of PDF/X1a (a PDF/X1a
file meets all of the requirements of PDF/X3), and all of the tools designed to read PDF/X3
are also able to read PDF/X 1a files. A major distinction between the two is that a PDF/X
3 file can also contain color-managed data.
To use a PDF output style, choose an option from the PDF Style drop-down menu. To
create a PDF output style using the current settings, choose New PDF Output Style.
