You can just drop in some PS, PDF and e.g. JPEG files and PStill will create one PDF from the input set. PStill can output also to PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3, a focused subset of PDF for 'pre-press' work. PStill knows about CMYK and spot colors and can handle overprinting. Starting with version 1.72.18 PStill also creates PDF/A-1b, a special version of PDF for archiving purposes." \stopquotation \startquotation "The Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, IRIX, AIX and HPUX versions are free only for personal/private and educational use. Commercial users (means: any for-profit use) must register and order a commercial type license key. The software will run without any functional restrictions but will display a notice on the console." \stopquotation From the above the impression could be raised that conversion to PDF/X-1a only works on Windows and MacOS X, but according to this post it seems to work on linux as well (?): http://www.stone.com/stoneforum/viewtopic.php?t=171 Note: Completely untested by me. Please inform us if it worked.
