As I said, they do not allow both Trimbox and Artbox, which is a bit strange since both boxes are allowed by the PDF format and the Artbox will in most cases just be ignored. The error message says there is both an Artbox and a Trimbox, and that would not have anything to do wit missing trim marks.

With a PDF, you don't need trim marks, because there is the Trimbox.

My impression is that the specification is for ads, but OP mentions a 4 page document. So either OP has ordered the wrong print, or the printer has misunderstood.

Yes, 1 sheet. My bad English translation.
"One page" thing could be head-to-head imposed pages so printer can print half run on double sized paper, then cut everything in half to get full number of copies.
As far as boxes, perhaps OP didn't put trim marks.

When I insert a page, although it says the page is going to be A4, it's actually A5 when it's inserted. I can change it to A4, of course.

A 4 page booklet may be one sheet, but it is two pages (one on each side of the sheet).

The specification references here says the file must have exactly one page, so there must be some misunderstanding between the OP and the printer. If it is supposed to be a booklet, they should not use this profile (which is only for one page).

I also find it very strange they do not allow both a Trimbox and an Artbox.

4 pages IS one page folded in the middle printed on both sides - this is how printers think & that is how I send them - already impositioned PDF - outside 4-1, inside 2-3.
IMHO, only 4 pages - text should be converted to outlines - no font problems.
Anyway, I never use fonts with TT outlines when there is PS version of the same fonts. Fonts are designed using PS and at the converted to TT.
Finally pdf, if possible should be created with A.obe PDF driver, meaning A.obe Acrobat.
