PdfXStandard ​

Type: Enum

A PDF/X print-exchange standard

Values ​

ValueDescriptionDeprecated
X_1APDF/X-1a — CMYK and spot colour only, no transparency, no layers. The most restrictive of the three and the safest common denominator.
X_3PDF/X-3 — permits colour-managed device-independent colour alongside CMYK, but still requires flattened content.
X_4PDF/X-4 — permits live transparency and optional-content layers, so no flattening is required before delivery.
