I'm using scrbook
with forced margins and pdfx
to produce PDF/X-1a compliant documents for the publisher.
pdfx
resizes the document and puts the trimed document in the bottom left corner. I'm not sure how the margins are kept or how the publisher will trim the printed document eventually.
Can you shed some light on this subject?
Here is a simple example of what I'm doing:
\documentclass[paper=6in:9in,pagesize=pdftex,
headinclude=on,footinclude=on,11pt]{scrbook}
\areaset[0.50in]{4.5in}{8in}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[x-1a]{pdfx}
\begin{document}
\chapter{My first chapter}
\section{A section here}
\lipsum
\chapter{My second chapter}
\end{document}

I've only had experience producing PDF/A documents, but the issues should be similar. What I've found is that the best approach is to forget about the
pdfx
package, and convert the normal output ofpdftex
to a conforming document usingghostscript
. See the documentation. Among other things, make sure you use a modified version ofPDFX_def.ps
and include an ICC profile.
