Peter,
I now see where we both disagree - it's the difference between running a standard 'preflight check' against a PDF/X profile and the 'PDF/X' and 'Save as PDF/X' selections.
But I do agree with you now - I think we were talking about slight differences in the implementation of Preflight in Acrobat 6 Professional.

Hi Jon
You'd please better check on that
I know that Distiller is not removing OPI comments
But Preflight is removing OPI-comments when saving a PDF as PDF/X3!!!

[ACROBAT] Performing/verifying a PDF as a PDF/X-1a will not automatically remove the OPI comments - only present the RED icon as a failure. The only way to ensure it passes it to either create your document to the correct Distiller settings to not include/preserve OPI or to use a tool (such as Pitstop) to remove.
I do however fully support the idea - as you know, the Ghent PDF Workflow also promote good PDF creation/verification standard.

Hi Catherine
Have you heard form PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-1a?
If you own Acrobat 6.0 professional and you create a PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-1a file using the build in preflight tool, then OPI-comments will also get removed since they are not permitted in those files.
It would - on the other hand - anyway be a very good idea to convert your files to PDF/X.

Hello Jon,
I'm pretty sure my PDFs used the default Press settings, which leave Preserve Halftone Screen deselected. But I will certainly check because there seem to be a lot of variables that can cause problems. Sounds as if I need my own copy of Pitstop Pro as well.
Thanks,
Catherine Osborn
