Question:
What is PDF/X?

Answer:
PDF/X is a file format standard derived from a specific subset of the Adobe PDF specification. It is designed specifically for reliable prepress data interchange. It's also a set of rules for application developers. In other words, it defines how applications creating and reading PDF/X files should behave.

Think of this like a digital passport system - we need a way to build a digital passport as well as check them for authenticity before a "transaction" can occur.
