That's the Way LSI sees it but its doesn't seem to be the case in the actual PDF/X-1a:2001 specifs, at least in those described here: http://www.prepressure.com/pdf/basics/pdfx-1a > > Furthermore: > > When I export using 1.5.0 with no profiles, LSI reject my PDF. > When I export using Acrobat with no profiles, LSI accept my PDF. > > I'm only describing my experience here. I understand that and my message is not written against you. I'm just trying to help you find a solution to your issue. :) The color profile is usefull (not to say essential) when converting from RGB to CMYK. A good profile choice leads to a file with good ink coverage. That said, I don't know which open-source tools you can use for that... -- Flem
