Hi everybody,
I'm going to expose my ignorance here, but I was wondering if anybody could explain to me what pdf/x format means and why I should want it. I mean, I get that it's supposed to be some kind of standard, but what does that mean? How is it superior to a regular PDF? Does that mean I can rely on it to open accurately in any software (regardless of version) that supports this format?

Sorry for my ignorance, people. I live in a small town in northern Canada (it's not the end of the Earth, but you can see it from here...). Traditionally, my clients haven't been that worried about things like colour accuracy (as long as it looks good and it's close...), but now I'm starting to land some bigger fish and they're pickier about these things.

Thanks in advance,
Dean.
