Verify a PDF against PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E criteria
PDF/X, PDF/A, and PDF/E files can be created in various ways, such as by using Acrobat Distiller or the File > Save
As > More Options command. If you open a PDF that conforms to one of these standards, you can view the standards
information in the Navigation pane. (Choose View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes), and then click the Standards
panel button
.) The Standards menu and panel are available only if the PDF conforms to a standard.
The Conformance information indicates the standard used to create the file, the ISO name, and whether the file has
been verified as PDF/X-, PDF/A-, or PDF/E-compliant. The Output Intent information indicates the color settings file
associated with the file. To verify the standards conformance for the file, click Verify Conformance.
Remove PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E information
You can remove all PDF/X-, PDF/A-, or PDF/E-specific information, such as the output condition or the GTS_PDFX
version key. This action is useful if a file has been modified, if you want to start over, or if an ICC profile increases the
file size too much.
1 In the Preflight dialog box, click Profiles.
2 Expand a compliance profile and select the Remove fixup. For example, under PDF/A Compliance, select Remove
PDF/A Information.
3 Click Analyze And Fix.
