Portable Document Format/X-3

PDF/X-3 (Portable Document Format for Exchange, version 3) is a specialized version of the standard PDF designed for reliable and consistent print publishing. It ensures that all necessary information, such as fonts, colors, and graphics, is embedded within the file, reducing printing errors and misinterpretations. Unlike regular PDFs, PDF/X-3 can support color management in professional printing workflows, making colors appear accurately across devices. This format is widely used in commercial printing to guarantee that the final printed material matches the designer's intentions, streamlining the process from digital design to physical production.
