I'm not aware of any real verification tool. I guess you could easily |
| 29 |
build one using one of the free pdf libraries for introspecting the file |
| 30 |
and matching all requirements. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
A quick and dirty check would be to look for the identification string. |
| 33 |
Every PDF/X has to specify its conformance using a plaintext string. I |
| 34 |
can't provide you with an PDF/X example but this is how it looks for |
| 35 |
PDF/A1 created by OOo: |
| 36 |
`strings <pdf> | grep PDFA |
| 37 |
<</Type/OutputIntent/S/GTS_PDFA1/OutputConditionIdentifier(sRGB |
| 38 |
IEC61966-2.1)/DestOutputProfile 76 0 R>> |
| 39 |
|

Hope this helps, |
