PDF filter
PDF/X (PDF Exchange) Preflight is a subset of Adobe PDF designed specifically for prepress data interchange. It defines how applications that read and create PDF/X files should behave.
The PDF filter verifies that a PDF file is compliant with either the PDF/X-1a or PDF/X3 standard. The filter checks whether your PDF files comply with these standards. If a PDF file is not PDF/X-compliant, the job fails to process and an error report appears.
The PDF filter is used exclusively for the preflight feature.
The PDF filter input file type is PDF.

PDF Passthrough |
This option allows PDF files to be submitted to the server untouched, and can be used for nonstandard PDF files generated by 3rd party applications. |

PDF (VT) |
PDF/VT (Portable Document Format/Variable Transactional) is an Adobe created variable data file format. When PDF (VT) is selected, all other PDF options except for the Output file type of PDF are disabled. The PDF/VT checkbox appears only when the Hot Folder is connected to a Fiery server that supports PDF/VT. If the Fiery server supports PDF/VT, you can specify PDF/VT as the input format by selecting PDF in the General list in the Input Formats dialog box, and then selecting PDF/VT in the PDF pane. |
PDF/X preflight |
Specifies which PDF/X standard to preflight against. PDF/X1-a standard: Address blind exchanges to verify that files contain only CMYK (and/or spot colors), with no RGB or device-independent (color-managed) data. PDF/X3: Meets all the requirements of the PDF/X-1a standard, but contains device-independent (color-managed) data. For more information about preflight and PDF/X compliance, see the documentation that accompanies your Fiery server. |
