 <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>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>
 <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>

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>
 
 <h3>What are the Differences Between PDF-X Versions?</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>

 <h2>PDF/X-3</h2>
