output pdf-x1 error

[handrawn]

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. ???

[gwpriester]

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.

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.
