EXPORT :: PDF/X-1a:2001
If you use "high quality print" pdf settings you may have problems with the pdf failing at the print shop depending on there RIP/image setter/plate setter set up. Also "High quality print" pdf setting has a medium resolution transparency flattener... which is FAIL for offset printing.
Make sure all the colours are process cmyk... if they are not process then you will have issues with areas of transparency. The cost of a 10 colour job will make you cry.
Safest option = you design, then give the open files to the printer to do the pre-press for you. They supply you with a proof that you sign off on if you are happy with it. They print the job and match it to the proof, if they fail to match the proof you tell them to print it again or give you a discount or something like that. No stress for you
