Search Paths
option is enabled, though you can disable it. The
Fail on
Missing Fonts
option is enabled and you cannot disable it.
During color conversion, the input color space is converted to CMYK
plus spot colors.
CAUTION: If you have a L*a*b* PANTONE color library installed, selecting the
Look Up Recipe in Color Database
option in the
Source of Color Recipes
area of
the
Spot Color Handling
section may cause Prinergy to fail the file. If the option is
not selected, and color recipes are defined using L*a*b*, Prinergy may also fail the
file. L*a*b* color space is not allowed for PDF/X-1a:2001 and PDF/X-3:2003 files.
During optimization, Prinergy checks for the remaining PDF/X issues. If
it is not possible to create a PDF/X-compliant file, Prinergy fails the file.
What happens when I select PDF/X-1a:2001 when
outputting in Prinergy?
The selected master files are checked for PDF/X-1a:2001 conformance,
in case a master file was edited and a non-PDF/X-1a:2001 element or
characteristic was introduced into the file. Some issues are corrected at
this point. However, some issues —including font embedding, image
replacement, and color conversion— cannot be handled at this point
and cause Prinergy to fail the file. The file must then be refined to PDF/
X-1a:2001 again.
If you select multiple pages and select
Save Pages to Separate Files
in
the Publish PDF Files dialog box on output, the selected files are
combined into one PDF/X-1a:2001 file.
What is the recommended workflow?
It is important to refine to PDF/X, because it ensures that your proof
cycle is based on the same PDF/X file that is output and sent to the
printer site.
1. Refine input files to PDF/X-1a: 2001
2. Refine (including OPI, font embedding, and color matching)
3. PDF/X-1a: 2001 digital master files are outputted. From the master
files, you can:
●
Display in Acrobat View, or print on a printer which will accept
PDF/X as an input type, OR
●
Export to PDF/X-1a, and send the files to a third party printer
Can I simply refine files to PDF as usual, and then output to
PDF/X-1a:2001 on Vector JTP output?
Though it might be possible to do so in some cases, in general this is
not the recommended way of working. In particular, color matching
must be performed during refine. A file needing color matching will not
be converted to PDF/X-1a:2001 on output if it has not been refined to
