Scott, Before we go bagging Adobe i think it's fair to say that most of the problems stem from third party implementations and ill-educated designers ignoring all the work that has been done by industry groups like GWG and DDAP amongst others not to mention that of the working groups that have contributed to the recognition of the various ISO standards like PDF/X (in all it's flavours). Prefilghting tools are not designed on the basis of a poorly written PDF specification but to detect the inappropriate components of a PDF file that has been poorly constructed for the designated output. It might be worthwhile inviting Adobe to comment on this subject as I've read many informative postings from Leonard Rosenthal. He is always willing to inform the ill-informed like some of those that have already contributed to this discussion. Mark Stegman On 25/08/2012, at 9:41 PM, Scott Martin <scott@on-sight.com> wrote:

Gee, sounds a lot like the description of Postscript, and the sort of problems that PDF was going to solve....
Yes, your point is well taken. I think Adobe could be doing more to make it easier on people. Don't get me started on how Adobe could make things easier on us by having smarter defaults and better implementations across the board!
