![]() You can learn about these on the PDF Association's website, including this page (scroll down a bit for PDF versions): Some readers may be surprised to learn that there are multiple PDF versions, each serving a specific purpose, including PDF, PDF 2.0, PDF/A, PDF/E, PDF/R, PDF/UA, PDF/VCR, PDF/VT, PDF/X, and a few more. As my project is a 400+ page non-fiction book (with graphics), being able to export only to PDF/A may limit my options and perhaps affect the quality of the graphics. I have also read that some (or many?) local printers are now requiring PDF/X documents to print flyers, brochures, etc. This may be the case also with Lulu, and perhaps others. ![]() My main concern is not a specific feature (though PDF/X is supposed to be optimized for graphics, which is important to me), but rather commercial printer preferences or requirements.Īmong the major book self-publishing platforms, for example, Amazon prefers PDF/X submissions but does accept PDF/A as a substitute, while Ingram/Spark requires PDF/X. ![]() I've seen the info at the link you provided the PDF association is a good resource.
