What is PDF/X-1a?
PDF/X-1a is a subset of Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF/X1a stands for PDF eXchange 1a. The "1" means that it is a blind exchange document–all fonts and images are embedded and "a" is the variant of PDF/X1 that was ISO accredited; ISO Standard: ISO 15930-1:2001.

PDF/X1a must meet the following specifications:

• All fonts and images are embedded.
• All elements are encoded as CMYK, spot for Device N.
• They may not be encoded as three-art color spaces such as RGB or CIELab.
• The MediaBox and TrimBox or ArtBox are defined.
• Trap must be indicated as on or off, alerting the printer to the condition of the document.
• The printing condition characterized (such as SWOP) through use of an output condition identifier.
