Elchanan, You are right, I got this information directly, not via the list. Hence I add it hereafter.

I'm not familiar with the requiremens of the X-process (use >it on demand of print-shop). Klaus, see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/X> and linked references. PDF/X-3 is a PDF standard for pre-press, so it disallows all sorts of stuff that is legal in other PDFs but which could mess up the print process. Most likely if you tag a FrameMaker .ps file with 'Create Acrobat data', you get named dests in the PDF (to act as bookmarks), which will fail the X-3 compliance tests. These PDF standards are a Good Thing, as, when used for pre-press, they go a long way to ensuring that the print will look as you intend. There's a list of the X-3 specs here: <http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/pdfx-3> Note point five: 'If there are annotations (sticky notes) in the PDF, they should be located outside the bleed area.' Dov is the expert here. -- Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Klaus This paper (see attachement) came via one of the links I posted: tells you all you need to know.
