PDF/X-3 Inspector does not run with the free Acrobat Reader. **IMPORTANT:** Beginning with Acrobat 6 professional, Adobe has integrated the PDF/X-3 Inspector functionality into Acrobat Professional as part of the **Preflight** feature. As the underlying technology in both cases is from callas software and essentially consists of the pdfInspektor engine, PDF/X-3 Inspector is not supported beyond Acrobat 5. In addition, it has not been tested with Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, or with Windows Vista, and may not run with these newer versions of the Mac and Windows operating systems. The Windows version comes as an installer. For the Mac version you will need [[http://www.aladdinsys.com/|StuffIt Expander from Aladdin Systems]]. The Mac version can be run under Mac OS 9.1 through 9.2.2 as well as under Mac OS/X 10.2.3 or newer. PDF/X-3 Inspector is provided as __freeware__, that is you may use it at your own discretion as long as you wish, on as many workstations as you wish and in whatever country you are. Nevertheless, being freeware, PDF/X-3 Inspector does not claim to be necessarily suitable for whatever specific use, and you will always have to run it at your own risk. We can take __absolutely no liability__ for anything that may go wrong when or after using PDF/X-3 Inspector. ==== Macintosh version of PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware) ==== {{en:PDFX-3Inspector.sit|Click here to download PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware) for Macintosh.}} (Version: 2.1(118) · 24 Ocotber 2003) ==== Windows version of PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware) ==== {{en:PDFX-3Inspector.EXE|Click here to download PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware) for Windows.}} (Version: 2.1(118) · 13 Ocotber 2003) ==== Technote "PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3: Conversion and verification in PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware)" ==== {{en:technote_pdfx_checks.pdf|Click here}} to download a PDF file with a detailed description of how PDF/X-3 Inspector (Freeware) as well as [[http://www.callassoftware.com/|pdfInspektor2]] convert and verify PDF/X files.
