I have a magazine ready for print for a client that uses a printer to print it. I am wondering whether or not the PDF I send them of the magazine (from InDesign CS5) will have any issues if I use the PDF/X-3:2003 Standard. Compatability is set to Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3) and the document will have all necessary bleed marks etc. The reason I am using this standard is to stop the PDF creation process from not showing certain transparencies used with InDesign tools. It's a only a few pages that have this issue, where when I send them for proofing the effects from ID glow etc don't show up unless I use the PDF/X-3 standard which keeps them in. So I am just wondering if it is ok to send the whole document as this standard when it goes to print (will there be any other issues with it saved this way? If so I will probably have to save the pages in question seperately and them pull them on as PDF's to the ID file and then save normally. The print site is modern so I doubt they have old software but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for your time.
