Guys:

I am trying to send a flyer to printcarrier.com and have transferred it from a word document to pdf.

However on their website it says that it has to be "pdf/x-1a"
Does anyone know what this x-1a means?

Best Rgds

Pdf/x-1a is a printing standerd that means it is saved using only CMYK and a spot colour not RGB coulors. If you have used a programme to  convert from a Word document to a PDf doc. then you are usually asked if the doc is for website, prepress etc. If you choose pre-press or similar then it would be fine. If you are  unsure just make sure the document is saved using using CMYK. You do this in the saving options.

I hope that makes sense...
