pdf/x shadow problems for prepress

[behzad]

Please see attached, everytime i do shadows this happens. This is the output for press in pdf/x format. It seems where the box boundries are for each element, it creates the color distortion. How can i solve this problem and have my design ready for press? notice the color green? Also if I bring the leaf in front, the problem goes to the blue area.

Can you supply your .xar? I can't repeat that problem with my tests, I thought it may be a difference with using the shadow tool or creating your shadow manually from shapes.. But both export fine for me.

Thank you for always helping, i will email it to you if you do not mind. you can pm me if you wish. Make sure, my friend that it is CMYK colors assigned to your shapes and export as pdf/x
the shadow effect on your test that you already did.

okay here is a test. I posted the output too. Export it as pdf/x
thanks.

I can repeat it with your file, but I can't repeat it recreating your file using the same colours.

PDF/x is always CMYK as far as I can see anyway.

Attached is the PDF/x result of my file recreation.

Other than this, I'm stumped right now

PS: I notice you have created this file using the Xtreme Pro 5 DL build 8917 (download) version, it's probably about time you installed from your CD build 10703 because there have been some updates since that older DL version
