make saving as pdf x1a available

By @André266443148qlf

 

 

Here's what Dov Isaacs, former Adobe Principal Scientist, said about PDF/X1a in 2017:

The PDF/X Standards are available in Adobe Acrobat.

The only reason I have Adobe is to save as a PDF/x-1a file. That is no longer an option. I plan to cancel my subscription.

Hi @André266443148qlf thank you for the suggestion. We will be happy to pass this on to the team.  For anyone that isn't sure what PDF X1A is:

 

"PDF/X-1a is a strict subset of the ISO PDF specification with a series of printing-related requirements which do not apply to standard PDF files. These are done with the intent that the document will print exactly the same as when they were saved."

 

Thank you,

Cory
