In this activity, you will use the Preflight+ option to preflight your input files and normalized files. You have a repeat customer who provides you with a variety of input files. You want to verify the stability of these files using the preflight+ profiles applied during the refine process. As part of the standards of your shop, no fonts can be TrueType, and any spot colors need to be converted to process (CMYK). In this activity, you will analyze and fix the files and generate a report in a PDF format.

Note: If you have already performed the Use the Advanced Preflight option to preflight an input file with profile-based preflight during refine activity, you can start with Task 4: Create a preflight+ profile using the Callas pdfToolbox.
