The documentation for pdfx goes through the source section by section and discusses what each does.
it's easier for me to preflight a file and see what acrobat reports
btw, things like color and fonts are easy as one can configure

there might be a few additional resources needed but that's easy
in my experience the problem is more with embedded graphics and these are out of our control

There are two tasks for crating a PDF x/1-a:2001 file. First limits must be imposed per the standard. Second the pdf file must "look" like a PDF x1-a:2001 file to the printer and his software. The tag at the top of the file is of course trivial. But there is some xml code embedded also. If a dummy file were created in e.g., pdf 1.4, and then a copy were made in Distiller with PDF X/1-a:2001, then a differential analysis could show out the elements (e.g., xml code) spelled out above. In Linux I would use the diff command but I don't think that is available to Windows users. Scribus will soon produce PDF X/1-a:2001 documents. It is already a menu choice in the alpha version Scribus 1.5.0. But the code behind the menu choice isn't in place yet. When it is I will do a diff run on two versions of the same file and see what is different. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
