: How do I create and check if a PDF is in X/1-a format? I've created PDF files with Photoshop, then combined them to create a 16 page PDF. Photoshop's colour profile is set to SWOP (Newsprint),
I've created PDF files with Photoshop, then combined them to create a 16 page PDF. Photoshop's colour profile is set to SWOP (Newsprint), with Total Ink Limit set to 235%.
The file will be printed and needs to be in PDF X/1-a format. Using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I tried Preflighting the file to get it into the correct format. Sometimes I get a colour warning, mostly I don't. When I tried uploading the preflighted file to the printers site I got the following: "WARNING Your file is not in PDF X/1-a format."
Assuming there is nothing wrong with the website, how can I create and check that my PDF is in the correct format?

In Acrobat:
open the pdf you want to check
open Print Production tools (View > Tools > Print Production)
click Preflight
click the PDF/X Compliance tab
click 'verify compliance with PDF X/1-a
see the report.
If it fails, you can convert it to a PDF/X standard using the selections above 'verify compliance…'. However be cautious of the result. You may not like it depending on how your file was built.
