I'm not aware of any real verification tool. I guess you could easily build one using one of the free pdf libraries for introspecting the file and matching all requirements. A quick and dirty check would be to look for the identification string. Every PDF/X has to specify its conformance using a plaintext string. I can't provide you with an PDF/X example but this is how it looks for PDF/A1 created by OOo: `strings <pdf> | grep PDFA <</Type/OutputIntent/S/GTS_PDFA1/OutputConditionIdentifier(sRGB IEC61966-2.1)/DestOutputProfile 76 0 R>> Hope this helps, Florian Philipp
