PDF/X-3 2002 does not support opacity/transparency.  You can't use it.

If you need transparency in PDF/X, you need PDF/X-4.

Subject: [iText-questions] Applying Opacity for PDFX32002

Hi,
I am working on a project which generates PDFX32002 pdf and I want to set the 
opacity of a text to 0.5, But no text is being displayed on the pdf. The Code 
works fine for a normal PDF and When I set coveWriter to PDFX32002  
"coverWriter.setPDFXConformance(PdfWriter.PDFX32002);" nothing happens.

This is a snippet for the code

PdfContentByte cb1 = coverWriter.getDirectContent();
PdfGState gstate = new PdfGState();
gstate.setFillOpacity(0.3f);
gstate.setStrokeOpacity(0.3f);
cb1.setGState(gstate);
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText(cb1);
ct.setSimpleColumn(phrase,x,y,Ux,Uy);
ct.go();
