How to use PDF/X-1a for Saint Patrick
- Adobe Acrobat Pro — Preflight with the PDF/X-1a check profile: the report shows the colour spaces, the output intent and the TrimBox/BleedBox frames on the page.
- The print house — hand the file over as it is: say that it is PDF/X-1a for FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2, 300%) and prepress has nothing left to do.
- Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW — open it and inspect the ink separation before delivery: black text must occupy the K plate only.

FAQ: PDF/X-1a for Saint Patrick
How is PDF/X-1a different from the PDF/X on this site?
The PDF/X here is X-3: the file stays in RGB with an embedded sRGB profile, and the print shop converts it to ink with its own profile. PDF/X-1a is converted by us: the file carries DeviceCMYK only, with the print profile inside, so the shop just prints it.
Which profile is embedded?
The free ECI "ISO Coated v2 300%" profile -- the FOGRA39 print condition (ISO 12647-2 offset, coated paper, up to 300% total ink). It is also declared as the output intent, so the file carries its print condition with it. The profile weighs about 1.3 MB, which is how much larger the file is than a plain PDF.
Why do black text and hairlines stay sharp?
Black and grey are separated onto a single K ink instead of a four-ink mix. The K plate is laid in one pass, so misregister cannot put a colour fringe around labels and hairlines. This is the same separation CorelDRAW's native export performs. The other half is overprint: small black text and hairlines are marked to print on top of the inks below rather than knock a hole in them, so a shift between press sections opens no white paper underneath them.
What is not in the file?
No proof -- that is a physical sheet off a press, a print shop service rather than a property of a file -- and no promise about a particular press run. We ship no ready-made spot colour library (Pantone or otherwise): you describe the ink yourself -- a name and a CMYK equivalent, up to two inks per order. There is no trapping: the print shop's RIP does that for its own press and paper. Black overprint, however, is there: small black text and hairlines print ON TOP of the inks below instead of knocking a hole in them, so a shift between press sections leaves no white fringe around them; large black areas and display type still knock out, because the ink underneath would show through them and change the black. Overprint stays in a spot-ink order too: the black lays over the plate, so the worst total at such a point is 200% against the 300% the embedded profile describes. Transparency is absent as the standard requires: semi-transparent fills are flattened beforehand. The finished file is formally validated and is not handed over if it fails.
Where does the file open?
Anywhere a PDF opens: Acrobat, Illustrator, InDesign, CorelDRAW, Scribus, and any print-shop RIP. PDF/X-1a is a plain PDF with restrictions, not a separate container.
