Re: PDF/X?

Hi Alfred!

Thanks for your reply!

I might be wrong, but I think, I downloaded the PDF/X-specifications
for free from Adobe developers box... somewhere, sometime ago, don't
exactly remember...

However, I'm going to try, whether modification of an PDF/X by PDFAPI2
preserves its X-restrictions... ;-)

Kind regards and keep up your outstanding work!
