Hi, can anyone tell me where to find PDF/X-4:2010?
I have updated InDesign to latest version, but its not there, I just have PDF/X-4:2008.
And I can not find it anywhere to install.
Thanks

    Hi loner93306019,

    don't be confused: When you select the preset named [PDF/X-4:2008] the default setting of "Standard" is PDF/X-4:2010.

    From my German InDesign 2020 version 15.1.0.25:

     

     

    If standard PDF/X-4:2010 is not showing up, your color management settings of InDesign are turned off. Just I did before doing the screenshot below. Then standard turned to value "None":

     

     

    So check your color management settings and turn them on!

    If done the standards PDF/X-4:2010, PDF/X-3:2003 and PDF/X-3:2002 should be available again and PDF/X-4:2010 should be the default of the preset named [PDF/X-4:2008].

    Hi loner93306019,

    is your issue resolved now by changing your color management settings?

      2008 is the only one available on Adobe software. 2010 only has minor differences that in 99% of the cases make no difference. I even believe that those are present in what InDesign still calls 2008 (as memory serves me well 2010 support was added already in CS 5 or 6). You can use Layers in Adobes 2008 version.
