What you need to know
With PDF Preflight, you can, during the refine process, evaluate PDF pages to detect problems that may affect processing in a publishing or prepress workflow. PDF Preflight uses profiles to compare the PDF files to a number of criteria. Each profile represents a collection of settings that is verified during the refine process. You must use the Preflight+ Profile Manager to add a preflight profile before preflighting PDF pages. The PDF Preflight area of a refine process template defines the profile used to check for errors and how to handle those errors.
