Dear List,
A lot of you guys helped me through the process of setting a little booklet and I have to say I was proud of the result (44 full color pages with a lot of pictures and texts). Thanks for that.
I'm now in the process of printing that booklet. I was happy to send my beautiful pdf to the printer for 250 copies, pdf file that has been refused because not in a PDF/X-1A format.
I googled a bit and learned a bit about that: wikipedia has a good article [0] on the topic and there is LaTeX package (pdfx) for pdfTeX that has a good doc about that [1]. In short, PDF/X-1A is a set of rules and subset of PDF that ensures that the document will be see exactly the same for the editor and the printer (embed every fonts, use only CMYK and son on).
Here is my question: is it possible to produce such documents with ConTeXt? It is quite frustrating to provide my printer with huge jpeg files.
the pdf code produced by pdftex/luatex is rather stupid in the sense that it is rather compliant you can control color to some extend using settings like \setupcolors[rgb=no] also, you can avoid interactive features what does the pdf validator of acrobat say? maybe the printer is bit picky on aspects that don't really matter (like having some specific key in a dictionary telling thisorthat) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
