Hello -
Can PS Elements save files in PDF/X-1a:2001 standard format?

What OS and version of Elements do you have?
In Elements 2023 for Windows, I was only able to save a file in the PDF format Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x).
I assume that the purpose of your question deals with printing the file.

PDF/X-1a is a standard which requires CMYK. The advice I read (which may be out of date) is that Photoshop Elements does not convert to CMYK. So (if so) this cannot be the right tool for this task.

@Test Screen Name is absolutely right. Elements cannot handle CMYK. This is one of the major differences between Elements and Photoshop CC.
