    Acrobat 9/PDFX1a from Indesign CS3 dropping images.

      Mac OS 10.5.5, 16GB RAM, Acrobat Pro 9, Indesign CS3 (5.0.3).

      I export to PDF, chose PDFX-1a from the Job Options. Turn on All Marks, and Use Document Bleed.

      Looking at the PDF in the Mac OS finder, the preview shows no images. Opening the PDF with Acrobat, it looks fine.

      My client is complaining there are no images (They are using Win XP)

      it appears as though under some odd circumstance PDFX1a is completely dropping placed psd images (Yes, they are CMYK and at 100%, one layer with transparency. The knockout fo rhte images is there, just no images.

      Bug? Any idea why? This is a new one on me.

      Using PDFX3 resolves the issue. But I've never had a problem like this with PDFX1a before.
