Hi Mike,

Please find attached Prince log file which has CMYK images.

I have used CMYK tif images in the document, and I don't know how to check if the generated PDF is "PDF/X-1a" compliance.

Could you please help me?

Prince does not generate PDF/X-1a compliant PDF files. For example, they need some internal metadata saying "this is a PDF/X-1a file" which Prince currently does not add.

However, the latest Prince alpha does support PDF/X-3 and PDF/X-4, you just need to run it with --pdf-profile=PDF/X-3 on the command-line.

Thank you very much Mike, great help!

Hi Mike,

Can you please let me know how can I add the metadata to my PDF, if I want PDF/X-1a?

Would be great if you could provide me a few steps/instructions.

Thanks for all your help in this matter.

Bayanna

Prince does not support PDF/X-1a, so you would need to use an external tool, such as Adobe Acrobat.
