Clif Graves Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 Ingram Spark requests PDF/X files and no ICC. When a file is exported with Compatibility = PDF/X the Embed ICC is grayed out. Those same files are reported by Acrobat as PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5x). What is the difference if any? I note that PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5x) allows the Embed ICC to be checked but PDF/X does not. Are they just the same, other than the ability to not Embed ICC? Seems that it shouldn't be that simple. Quote
Twolane Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 I have 20 POD novels up on IS. They're text-only, with a B&W introductory image, usually of some part of the cover. To export, I use PDF/X-1a:2003 / CMYK / Use document profile. If you're doing anything with interior color images, I have absolutely no idea about settings.

Bryan Rieger Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 @Twolane what document colour profile (ie. U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2, etc.) are you using? Quote
Twolane Posted September 10, 2024 Posted September 10, 2024 My color profiles appear to be sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
