Convert PDF to PDF/X Online For Commercial Printing

PDF/X (ISO 15930) is the prepress standard required by most commercial printers. It guarantees that every font is embedded, every image uses a predictable color space (CMYK for PDF/X-1a), and a specific output intent / ICC profile is declared so the press can match the colors you intended.

PDF/X-1a vs PDF/X-4

• PDF/X-1a - CMYK only, no transparency, no layers, no encryption, no JavaScript. The safest, most widely supported flavor for offset and digital print.
• PDF/X-4 - same constraints as X-1a but allows live transparency and optional content (layers). Use when your designer needs drop shadows, soft masks, or layered artwork preserved.

Output intents

• FOGRA39 (coated) - European default for coated stocks, ISO 12647-2:2004.
• FOGRA51 (uncoated) - PSO uncoated v3.
• SWOP - U.S. Web Coated v2 - the historic North American standard.
• Japan Color 2001 Coated - the Japanese coated standard.
