collywolly: Thank you for taking the time to analyse the file, I appreciate your feedback. Would I have to place the 'tint/opacity' box at the back? I remember trying this and the fonts didn't outline. How should the transparency flattener be created then?

For my adobe PDF presets, I have been using my own settings because I wasn't sure what PDF standard's i.e. PDF/X-1a are. I will definitely read about these settings. It just occured to me: what is the purpose of the transparency flattener trick if the PDF/X-1a setting embeds the fonts? Is the flattener suppose to overcome something else?
