Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about print exchange preflight checks.
Q.What is PDF/X validation?
PDF/X is an ISO standard subset optimized for professional printing, requiring embedded fonts, color output intents, and forbidding interactive features.
Q.Does the tool check CMYK and RGB profiles?
Yes. The preflight checker inspects the root OutputIntents dictionaries to verify that ICC color destination profiles are defined for device colors.
Q.Are files processed on a server?
No. The validation scans are completed in local browser memory via standard web technologies, preserving absolute security.
Q.What elements are forbidden in PDF/X?
Interactive form fields, dynamic actions (like JavaScript actions), multimedia assets (sounds, movies), and document encryption are forbidden.
