Hi - apologies if this is a basic question. I'm doing a very quick
analysis to test a concept...

I am looking at dompdf for a project that requires commercial printing
of PDFs. I've created a simple hello world PDF that has just a line of
coloured text, then run that through the Preflight analyser in Adobe
Acrobat.

It's picked up a number of issues which I've listed below - are these
all possible to fix with dompdf outputs?

Document ID missing
Document modification date missing
Document title empty/missing
Font not embedded (1 match on 1 page)
Object uses RGB (1 match on 1 page)
OutputIntent for PDF/X missing
PDF/X version key (GTS_PDFXVersion) missing
Page does not have TrimBox or ArtBox (1 match on 1 page)
Trapped key not true or false

Document information
File name: "hello_world-1.pdf"

PDF version number: "1.3"

Hi

Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm doing a very high level
assessment for a client as a proof of concept.

Basically I'm looking to generate PDFs that can be printed
commercially so I've run a very basic test with some yellow text
through the Preflight check in Adobe Acrobat Pro. It's reported a
number of issues and I'm not sure if these are all fixable? I'm also
keen to understand if PDFs can be generated with no margins (ie full
bleed to the paper edge).

Any thoughts? Errors reported are shown below...

Hello, only a few of the features can be resolved :

Document modification date missing  
      > This can be easily solved in the library if needed, but it will be equal to the creation date
Document title empty/missing  
      > This is fixed in the trunk (it will contain the text of the <title> tag of the HTML doc

Font not embedded (1 match on 1 page)
      > DOMPDF will embed fonts if they are not part of the built-in 14 fonts and if DOMPDF_ENABLE_UNICODE is set to true

Object uses RGB (1 match on 1 page) 
      > You need to set colors with the CMYK syntax (http://code.google.com/p/dompdf/source/detail?spec=svn340&r=300), only available since the revision 300 from the trunk.
