-<h2>PDF/X-1a</h2>
-<h3>What is PDF/X?</h3>
-<p>Creating commercial “press-ready” PDFs has historically been fraught with errors, especially for users unfamiliar with the nuances of PostScript, PDF distilling and varying capabilities of plate-setters or digital presses. The saying “It is hard to create a good PDF, but really easy to mess up” has a great deal of truth. The more common usage of the Adobe Acrobat Distiller family of applications for PDF creation has typically required knowledge of at least some of the close to 100 Distiller parameters.</p>
-<p>In European countries, the concept of PDF/X has been more widely and earlier adopted than in North America. Much of the push for these standards has come primarily from German and Swiss companies, many of which are worldwide leaders in press and high-end digital imaging technology.</p>
-<p>The creation of PDF/X is, in part, an attempt to provide end users and creators with a vendor-neutral measuring stick to vet files as suitable for professional printing or exchange with service bureaus. Essentially, PDF/X files are files that on the one hand only permit a certain subset of PDF features, and on the other hand make the enabling of others mandatory.</p>
+<h2>PDF/X</h2>
+<h3>Was ist PDF/X?</h3>
+<p>Die Ausgabe von PDF-Dateien für den kommerziellen Druck war in der Vergangenheit ziemlich fehleranfällig, besonders wenn Anwender nicht mit den Feinheiten von PostScript, dem »Destillieren« von PDFs und den verschiedenen Leistungsmerkmalen von Plattenbelichtern oder Digitaldruckmaschinen vertraut waren. Die Redensart »Es ist schwer, eine gute PDF-Datei zu erzeugen, aber kinderleicht, es zu vermasseln«, enthält mehr als nur Körnchen Wahrheit. Die typischen Anwendungsfälle für den Acrobat Distiller erforderten normalerweise die Kenntnis wenigstens einiger der beinahe hundert Distiller-Optionen.</p>
+<p>In europäischen Ländern ist PDF/X weiter verbreitet als in Nordamerika. Es waren vor allem deutsche und Schweizer Firmen, die hinter der Durchsetzung dieses Konzepts standen, weil viele von ihnen Weltmarktführer im Bereich Drucktechnik sind.</p>
+<p>Mit PDF/X sollte unter anderem Endanwendern und Vorstufenexperten ein herstellerneutraler Maßstab an die Hand gegeben werden, anhand dessen sie Dateien auf ihre Tauglichkeit für professionellen Druck oder dem Austausch mit Service-Büros überprüfen können. Im wesentlichen handelt es sich bei PDF/X-Dateien um PDFs, die nur eine Untermenge von PDF-Optionen zulassen und andere Optionen zur Pflicht machen.</p>
-<h3>What are the Differences Between PDF-X Versions?</h3>
+<h3>Was sind die Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen PDF-X-Versionen?</h3>
<ul>
-<li><b>PDF/X-1a</b> requires the following: The color space to be CMYK, greyscale, or spot colors, all the fonts are embedded, and the settings within PDF indicate whether it is either pre-trapped or not. Think of this as a blind hand-off, as there is no certainty of how it will output. PDF/X-1a is widely used in North America.</li>
-<li><b>PDF/X-2</b> is a looser standard – but with the requirement for more knowledge between the supplier and receiver of the file. Fonts are not required to be embedded, and it is possible to use OPI (Open Pre-Press Interface). PDF/X-2 also allows device-independent color spaces, like CIE L*a*b*, to be used. PDF/X-2 is rarely supported by any commercial printer.</li>
-<li><b>PDF/X-3</b> is based on PDF 1.3 and requires ICC color profiles to be resident in the PDF. This allows for RGB colors to be used in the PDF, as these will be converted to CMYK using ICC profiles as late as possible in the printing process.</li>
-<li><b>PDF/X-4</b> is based on PDF 1.4 and allows for using a major PDF 1.4 feature – transparency – in a PDF/X file. PDF/X versions prior to X-4 do not support transparency. Support for PDF/X-4 will be added in future Scribus versions and is already in testing.</li>
-<li><b>PDF/X-5</b> is based on PDF 1.5 and enables the use of PDF layers in PDF/X files. Support for PDF/X-5 will be added in future Scribus versions.</li>
+<li><b>PDF/X-1a</b> erfordert folgendes: Das Farbmodell muß CMYK, Graustufen oder Schmuckfarbe sein. Alle Schriften müssen eingebettet werden, und die PDF-Datei muß Informationen zur Überfüllung enthalten. Stellen Sie sich die Verwendung von PDF/X-1a am besten als eine Art »blinde Übergabe« vor, denn es ist nicht möglich, das Druckergebnis sicher vorherzusagen. PDF/X-1a ist in Nordamerika weit verbreitet.</li>
+<li><b>PDF/X-2</b> ist ein weniger strenger Standard, der aber noch mehr Detailinformationen sowohl auf seiten des Anlieferers als auch des Verarbeiters einer Datei erfordert. Schriften müssen nicht eingebettet werden, und es ist möglich, das »Open Pre-Press Interface« (OPI) zu verwenden. PDF/X-2 erlaubt die Verwendung geräteunabhängiger Farbmodelle wie CIE L*a*b*, wird aber von kaum einer Druckerei und auch nicht von Scribus unterstützt.</li>
+<li><b>PDF/X-3</b> basiert auf PDF 1.3 und erfordert die Einbettung von ICC-Farbprofilen in eine PDF-Datei. Auf diese Weise können RGB-Farben in der PDF-Datei gespeichert werden, denn diese werden erst am Ende des Produktionsprozesses mit Hilfe des Farbprofils nach CMYK umgerechnet.</li>
+<li><b>PDF/X-4</b> basiert auf PDF 1.4 und ermöglicht die Verwendung einer wichtigen PDF-1.4-Funktion, nämlich Transparenzen, in einer PDF/X-Datei, was in früheren Versionen noch nicht möglich war. In der nächsten Scribus-Version wird der Export nach PDF/X-4 möglich sein.</li>
+<li><b>PDF/X-5</b> basiert auf PDF 1.5 und erlaubt die Verwendung von PDF-Ebenen. Eine Export-Option nach PDF/X-5 wird in einer späteren Scribus-Version verfügbar sein.</li>
</ul>
-<h3>How Do I Test and Certify that Scribus PDF Files are Truly PDF/X Compliant?</h3>
+<h3>Wie lassen sich von Scribus erzeugte PDF/X-Dateien auf ihre Normgerechtheit überprüfen?</h3>
<ol>
-<li>Some specialist PDF software including Enfocus PitStop Pro and the full version of PDF Inspektor can perform detailed pre-flight checks on PDF. Acrobat Professional can also verify and pre-flight PDF/X files.</li>
-<li>Another option is the <a href="m www.altonatestsuite.com">Altona Suite</a>.</li>
+<li>Es gibt einige Spezialprogramme wie Enfocus PitStop Pro oder PDF Inspektor, die eine detaillierte Vorstufenüberprüfung durchführen können, und auch mit Acrobat Professional lassen sich PDF/X-Dateien auf Standardkonformität testen.</li>

-<p>Scribus provides easily accessible options that enable end users to create 100 % X-compliant PDF files. By judicious use of PDF options, end users can be assured that their files will be 100 % standards compliant.</p>
-<p>Before you export a PDF/X-1a or X-3, make sure the file(s) you create can be used in the workflow of your printer or service bureau. Not all are equipped to handle PDF/X technology.</p>

+<p>Scribus macht es seinen Anwendern leicht, PDF-Dateien zu exportieren, die zu 100 % den PDF-Spezifikationen PDF/X-1a bzw. PDF/X-3 entsprechen, indem es die Ausgabe fehlerhafter Dateien gar nicht erst zuläßt.</p>
+<p>Bevor Sie nach PDF/X-1a or X-3 exportieren, sollten Sie sicherstellen, daß Ihre Druckerei oder ein anderer Dienstleister auch wirklich mit PDF/X umgehen kann, was nicht selbstverständlich ist.</p>
-<h3>When Should I Use PDF/X-1a?</h3>
-<p>Short answer: When your printer relies on PDF/X-1a files. Many on-demand printers do so, and in North America it is widely used even in traditional workflows.</p>
+<h2>PDF/X-1a</h2>
+<h3>Wann sollte ich PDF/X-1a verwenden?</h3>
+<p>Kurze Antwort: Wenn Ihre Druckerei PDF/X-1a-Dateien verlangt, was bei vielen Print-on-demand-Dienstleistern der Fall ist. In Nordamerika ist PDF/X-1a darüber hinaus auch in traditionellen Druckereien üblich.</p>
-<h3>PDF/X-1a and Color Management</h3>
-<p>The downside of PDF/X-1a is the lack of control over color accuracy, especially for CMYK colors. For best results it requires good communication between designer and printer. As always, a short visit to your printer <strong>in advance</strong> is strongly recommended. Also, since RGB colors are not allowed in PDF/X-1a files, Scribus will convert all RGB colors to CMYK, based on a color profile.</p>
-<p>One question is which printer profile one should use. There are two strategies: The first is to have an actual ICC profile from your printing company for the matching paper type. The second is to use a well-known printing standard as SWOP, ECI or others.</p>
+<h3>PDF/X-1a und Farbmanagement</h3>
+<p>Der Nachteil von PDF/X-1a ist der Mangel an Kontrolle in bezug auf die Farbgenauigkeit, insbesondere bei CMYK-Farben. Um gute Druckergebnisse zu erzielen, ist ein guter Informationsaustausch zwischen Ihnen und der Druckerei erforderlich. Am besten statten Sie Ihrem Druckdienstleister einen Besuch ab, <strong>bevor</strong> Sie Ihre PDF/X-1a-Datei ausgeben. Beachten Sie auch, daß RGB-Farben in PDF/X-1a-Dateien nicht zulässig sind und Scribus deswegen alle RGB-Werte auf der Grundlage eines Farbprofils nach CMYK umrechnet.</p>
+<p>Bleibt die Frage, welches Farbprofil Sie verwenden sollten. Hier gibt es grundsätzlich zwei Möglichkeiten: Entweder Ihre Druckerei stellt Ihnen das passende Profil zur Verfügung, oder Sie verwenden (in Absprache mit der Druckerei) ein Standardprofil von Organisationen wie SWOP oder ECI.</p>
-<h3>Quickstart Guide to Creating a PDF/X-1a</h3>
-<p>In the <a href="settings1.html">Document Setup</a> make sure color management is enabled and the correct color profiles are chosen. Ideally, the color print profile matches either a standarized ISO printing condition or is a custom profile from your print provider. Without color management, you won’t be able to export to PDF/X-1a. Then select <i>File > Export …> Save as PDF …</i> or click the PDF icon from the toolbar.</p>
-<p>This panel will open first, and you have to select “PDF/X-1a” from the “Compatibility” drop-down list as shown below. This will change the default settings, as needed, automatically. </p>
+<h3>Schnellanleitung zur Ausgabe nach PDF/X-1a</h3>
+<p>Aktivieren Sie das Farbmanagement in den <a href="settings1.html">Dokumenteinstellungen</a> und stellen Sie sicher, daß Sie das richtige Farbprofile ausgewählt haben. Ohne aktiviertes Farbmanagement steht Ihnen die Ausgabeoption »PDF/X-1a« nicht zur Verfügung. Gehen Sie anschließend auf <i> Datei > Exportieren > Als PDF speichern …</i> oder klicken Sie auf das PDF-Symbol in der Werkzeugleiste.</p>
+<p>Der folgende Reiter wird Ihnen nun als erstes präsentiert, und Sie müssen unter »Kompatibilität« »PDF/X-1a« auswählen. Dies führt dazu, daß einige Grundeinstellungen automatisch angepaßt werden.</p>
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1a-1.png" alt="PDF Create Dialog General Tab" /></td></tr></table>
-<p>Next, select the “Color” tab, as shown below:</p>
+<p>Klicken Sie nun auf den Reiter »Farbe«:</p>
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1acolor.png" alt="PDF Create Dialog Color Tab" /></td></tr></table>
-<p>Note that in the “Color” tab the general output target is greyed out. This is because in a PDF/X-1a workflow “Printer” (i.e., CMYK) is the only possible option.</p>
-<p>Next, select the “Pre-Press” tab, as shown below:</p>
+<p>Sie sehen, daß hier die Option »Ausgabe vorgesehen für:« ausgegraut ist, denn im Falle von PDF/X-1a ist »Drucker« (d.h. CMYK) das einzig Mögliche.</p>
+<p>Klicken als nächstes auf den Reiter »Pre-Press«:</p>
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1aintent.png" alt="PDF Create Dialog
PDF/X-1a Tab" /></td></tr></table>
-<p>This is where you embed in the PDF the intended press condition, which is defined by the ICC color profile. It’s probably the most important choice in terms of color profiles, as it affects color throughout the whole workflow. You can also put in a short note about the document, which can be useful later on. <strong>This field cannot be left blank – as the PDF/X-1a specification requires it. Scribus will disable the “Save” button if the field is empty.</strong> You can also add other pre-press features like color bars or printing marks, but you should only do so if your printing company asks for them.<p>
-<p>Note: Because of the requirements of PDF/X-1a, some PDF features are disabled, including encryption and presentation effects; all fonts are automatically embedded or subset. Likewise, annotations and transparency won’t be exported.</p>
-
+<p>Hier können sie die Ausgabebedingung (d.h. das Farbprofil) ändern, sofern es von den Voreinstellungen für das Dokument abweichen soll, ändern. Sie können außerdem einen Kurzkommentar (»Infotext«) zu dem Dokument hinzufügen. Dieses Feld darf laut PDF/X-1a-Spezifikation nicht leer bleiben, und Scribus blockiert das Speichern, bis Sie es ausgefüllt haben. In diesem Reiter können Sie zudem weitere Pre-press-Optionen wie Schneidemarken oder Farbbalken hinzufügen, sollten dies aber nur dann tun, wenn Ihre Druckerei es ausdrücklich wünscht.<p>
+<p>Beachten Sie, daß einige PDF-Optionen wie Verschlüsselung, PDF-Anmerkungen oder Präsentationseffekte nicht zur Verfügung stehen, weil die PDF/X-1a-Spezifikation diese nicht zuläßt. Außerdem werden Schriften automatisch eingebettet bzw. in Kurven umgewandelt, und Transparenzen können nicht exportiert werden.</p>

<h3>Overview</h3>
-<p>The power and versatility of the PDF (Portable Document Format) export in Scribus is one of its notable features. The platform-neutral nature of PDF enables Scribus users to overcome a number of potential barriers between Open Source and “traditional” print workflows.

Scribus reliably exports high-quality, “press-ready” PDF, including advanced PDF features and ISO-compliant PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3.</p>
<p>If Scribus would only be capable of creating high resolution PDFs for commercial printing, that alone would make Scribus a great application. The bonus is all the easy-to-use versatility, such as: creating presentations à la PowerPoint or creating web-enabled interactive PDF forms, which can be used in electronic document exchange, or the ability to use JavaScript to control elements within the PDF. Scribus also provides other useful features, like annotations, bookmarks and optionally document encryption.</p>
<p>The PDF abilities of Scribus enable for “repurposing” a document. A single document can be exported for printing, web download or for slide presentations. That this is a future trend in publishing is indicated by the same strategy in Adobe’s InDesign, the new PDF capabilities in QuarkXPress or in Adobe Illustrator. New requirements in publishing have resulted in many enhancements to the PDF standard, which often overcome the limitations of HTML and traditional PostScript, respectively.</p>
<p>Your best PDF viewing/printing results will be with the newest version of <a href="toolbox1.html">Adobe Reader</a>.</p>

<p>There are basically four kinds of PDF export targets. It’s important that you consider the hints below <i>before</i> you start creating your documents.</p>
<ol>
<li>
-<p><strong>Press Optimized:</strong> All <a href="importhints.html">bitmap images</a> brought into to Scribus as placed images should have a minimum resolution of 200 dpi and preferably 300 dpi or more for photos or TIFFs. For line art or vector graphics converted to a bitmap image, an even higher resolution may be necessary for best results. Most vector files can be <a href="importhints2.html">imported directly</a> as native Scribus objects, which is recommended if possible. Output target in the PDF Export dialog: “Printer,” unless you export to <a href="pdfx3.html">PDF/X-3</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Print Optimized:</strong> This would mean targeting the PDF for printing on an office laser-jet or ink-jet. Recommended settings: Down-sample all images to 300 dpi or less, embed fonts and keep your page margins with enough tolerance for margin limits on desktop and common office printers (approx. 6/10th of an inch or 1.5 cm). <b>Do not choose “Printer” as an output target, but use “Screen/Web” instead, as ink-jet and laser-jet printers expect RGB input.</b></p>

<h3>What about other kinds of PDF, like PDF-X or PDF-A?</h3>
<p>The PDF format’s feature set continues to grow with every version, but not every feature is acceptable in all use-cases. Thus, workgroups at the International Standardization Organization (ISO) defined subsets of the PDF feature set, among them PDF/A or PDF/X. The purpose of PDF/A is long-term storage and accessibility of documents, i.e. the content of PDF/A files needs to be read or extracted in years, decades, perhaps centuries to come. This is, of course, different from PDF files created for commercial printing, whose main purpose is to reliably store visually important data like colors and typgraphically refined text. Below you can see the PDF export dialog in LibreOffice, an application suite which produces all kinds of “office” documents that are not suited for commercial printing:</p>
-<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/pdfx1a-lo.png" alt="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" title="PDF/X-1a Export in LibreOffice" /></td></tr></table>
-<p>While there are some similarities in terms of features, there are also major differences, especially in the “General” tab. As you can see, the first option here is “PDF/A-1a,” an option that’s not available in Scribus, because creating documents for long-term storage is none of its major purposes (yet). You can also see that selecting “PDF/A-1a” enables or disables other features automatically (“Tagged PDF” and “Embed standard fonts” enabled, “Create PDF form” disabled). Similarly, Scribus will enable/disable some export features when you choose <a href="pdfx3.html">PDF/X-3</a> as output destination.</p>

<p>In addition to PDF/A and PDF/X, several other PDF subsets are being developed as international standards, for instance PDF/E for engineering documents (including the embedding of 3D objects) or PDF/UA (= universal access) for visually impaired users. See the website of <a href="http://www.aiim.org/">the Association for Information and Image Management, International</a> for more information.</p>

Even so, this can serve as a reminder to carefully check that image in your PDF to see if it meets your needs. On the other hand, it’s more likely that either you forgot to delete that empty Image12 or forgot to load an image, and you probably didn’t want text to overflow in the Text9 frame.

<li><b>Check for missing glyphs:</b> This option will let Scribus check for missing glyphs in a font. <i>Do not underestimate the importance of this option</i>, as a simple change of a font, e.g. via a style sheet or direct formatting, can result in text using glyphs that aren’t available in the new font.</li>
<li><b>Check for items not on a page:</b> You can easily move or even create items outside a page, i.e., in the gray canvas space (the <a href="settings1.html#14">Scratch Space</a>) around the pages. While this is a useful feature, it may wreak havoc to a PostScript or PDF file that’s destined for commercial printing, and it’s quite easy to “forget” such a Scratch Space item (e.g. an empty frame). Thus, you are strongly advised to <i>not</i> disable this option.</li>
<li><b>Check of overflow in text frames:</b> As an avid reader of this Online Help you know for sure that working with Scribus is mostly <a href="WwFrames.html">frame-based</a>, and of course you are also aware of the <a href="WwText.html">necessity</a> to either reduce the font size or to enlarge a text frame or to link to a subsequent frame if the text doesn’t fit into a particular frame. Similar to the “missing glyphs” issue, one of the likely issues that may ruin or devaluate your costly print is the change of a font, since the glyph widths change from font to font. In some cases, even using the same font on different platforms or even the same font on the same computer may result in a text overflow, as the update may have installed a new version of a font file with different font metrics.</li>
-<li><b>Check for used transparencies:</b> The PostScript file format doesn’t support transparency, and neither does the PDF 1.3 specification, which is still supported by Scribus. Since PDF/X-3 is also based on PDF 1.3, you only need this option active for the three previously mentioned export/print destinations.</li>

Since PDF/X1a and X-3 are also based on PDF 1.3, you only need this option active for the three previously mentioned export/print destinations.</li>
<li><b>Check for missing images:</b> Scribus doesn’t store bitmap images in its own file format; it only creates links to files in one of the <a href="importhints.html">supported bitmap formats</a>. Since it can easily happen that users save an image under a different name, another file format or another location, the link to the image may become a “dead link”, i.e. the <a href="WwImages.html">image frame</a> will be empty, an issue that can be easily overlooked. This option lets Scribus detect such dead links.</li>
<li><b>Check image resolution:</b> As an enlightened reader you already <a href="importhints.html">know</a> that the resolution of bitmap images can be critical to the success of a print run – if the resolution is too low, images will look awful when printed, and if the resolution is too high, the file size of an exported PostScript or PDF file may be too large to be handled by a commercial Raster Image Processor (RIP). This option will let Scribus check whether the resolution of an image is too high or low for a certain output destination. As you can see, you can change the limits in both directions, but keep in mind that the default values make sense in most cases.</li>
<li><b>Check for placed PDF files:</b> Scribus can import PDF files into image frames via <a href="toolbox5.html">Ghostscript</a>. However, since Scribus lets Ghostscript “rasterize” (i.e.: create a bitmap image of) an imported PDF file, you may not like the result. Moreover, the quality of the file import depends on the Ghostscript version you have installed. Hence the option to let Scribus check for placed PDF files, which is especially useful if you exchange Scribus files between computers with different Ghostscript versions installed.</li>

<p>Moreover, although PDF has become an ISO standard, Adobe invented PostScript and PDF, which is based on PostScript, and it has a commercial incentive to promote PDF, as well as standard compliance on all platforms.</p>
<h3>Hints for Scribus users:</h3>
<p><strong>We highly recommend upgrading to the latest Adobe Reader version</strong>. Simply put, there is nothing else more capable of rendering PDF correctly. Whatever your objections were to older versions (and there were some substantial ones, most notably on Linux), the later versions, especially after 7.0.9, ameliorate the vast majority of them. And while it’s often being discarded as being a “resource hog,” it is still far more stable, bug-free and loads quicker than older versions. On Linux it now has a modern look and feel. Versions after 7.0.9 also have direct support for CUPS and offer many extra options for printing. <strong>Any rendering issues with Scribus-exported PDFs in other viewers should be cross-checked with Reader 7 or higher before reporting bugs to us.</strong></p>
-<p>One of the major advantages of the latest Adobe Reader releases is the ability to “flatten” transparency in PDF 1.4+ files. This feature is important, because some printers still can’t handle PDFs with transparency. Also, the PDF/X-3 standard, required by many printers these days, doesn’t support transparency. While the PDF-to-PDF flattening remains a feature of Adobe’s Acrobat program, Adobe Reader allows for creating a “flattened” PostScript file via the print dialog. The resulting PDF file can then be converted back to a PDF file with GSview or a command line tool.</p>

<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<p>We are aware of color mismatches when viewing PDFs which have some kinds of transparency in PDF 1.4+ files. This has been reported as a bug to Adobe.</p>
<p>It is always recommended to ensure your applications are patched to the latest version to prevent your system from becoming insecure. Despite its great benefits, the PDF format in general and Adobe Reader in particular have become a prominent target for malware creators and attacks via JavaScript. Disabling JavaScript execution in your PDF viewers when you don’t need it may be advisable depending on your situation.</p>
