output pdf-x1 error

I am attaching screen of what pdf shows and xara file for you to try.
on right side crop mark turns black. On left all these lines??


I output for commercial printing (pdf/x, 300 DPI images)Attachment 127979Attachment 127980

No problem here. I exported PDF/X Commercial Printing.

The crop marks appear on all four colors and I am not seeing any lines.

Why is it always me ? WHY??? :eek:

because if it wasn't you. you would not be asking the question :D

OMG someone save me. I had to do it the old original way.

it works ok for me in xdp15.1 from your posted file.....

I am not a happy camper. Have to play with it again to see what is happening. I have v17 latest version (non cloud)

well run as administrator just in case the xara PDF registrtation is spiked - check the xara imagesetting and PDF export settings

what are you using to view the PDF - it looks like adobe reader to me - might even be a setting there... reboot your computer....

Also, what export setting are you using? I used the default PDF/X Commercial Printing setting. But as Steve suggests often shutting down and reopening Xara solves the problem.

I was working on something yesterday that stopped working. I shut down, started up again and the problem vanished.

Ok will do. I recently downloaded adobe acrobat Cloud. Will do the testing thanks.

not working, still get it. I will put the acrobat pdf file here if anyone wants to see. I give up.

I don't use commercial printing so I can't be of much help. I don't get the red/white bar on the left.

However I notice that the crop marks are cutting your rectangles, which sounds odd to me. Import your pdf back into Xara and note that the rectangles are cut up into either rectangles or bitmaps at the crop mark level. ???

OK I see it now. But I was not able to reproduce it from your original file.

In wireframe view I can see four very low rez bitmaps, one on each side.

Here's what I think you have done. There is a new feature added in 17 that extends an image into the bleed area by creating a bitmap and this has created the four bitmaps. I'm not even sure what you do to make this happen. The strange area on the left side with the red stripes and on the right with the black rectangle are bitmaps created to extend the printed area into the bleed area.

What you need to do is extend the red and black rectangles into the bleed area. This will be cropped off when the card is cut from the stock.

I think the feature I am mentioning is in Autofit to Page (see attachment)

Ok gang. I am going to leave as is, this and many other enounces that I have experienced.

Do You mean the red lines in the bleed section?
This is not a bug its a feauter since we have XDP 17. In v17, Xara means to think for you and adds automatically bleed to your document where no content goes over the bleed.

And know it's a bug!!!

To get rid of this, simply make a rectangel over the hole document incl. the bleed area and give it the color white and set it in the background.
Lock it in the layer palette for easier work on the content.

Or delete this squares in Acrobat.

I have Pro v17 - opened your XAR doc - Auto-fit-to-Page was not set, but you had 5 layers with your content on just one of them (graphic transparent) - not relevant necessarily, but I removed the redundant layers . Again not necessarily relevant, but your guidelines had a -'ve start point (which I reset to x=0, y=0).

Thereafter, the commercial PDF output was correct, printed as expected and within the crop guidelines. BTW: your image does not overlap the crop guides (image below)

Attachment 127992

XAR doc attached which should work with your v17 too.

I have not tried setting Autofit to see what happens because it wasn't necessary for your job.

Hopefully, peace of mind will return and confirm you have a working v17!

Thank you to all who have participated. xoxox

You can change the registry-key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\17\Options\Filters\PDFXAutoBleed from 1 to 0

to deactivate the PDF-AutoBleed-Function.

Very well. Danke Werner.
