Note: Preflight Profile Editor is relevant to the Advanced Preflight method only. Preflight+ profiles are edited in Preflight+ Profile Manager. For more information, see the Managing Preflight+ profiles topic in this guide.

Preflight Profile Editor appears when you are adding or editing an Advanced Preflight profile.

Categories

Select the category that you want to set.

• Document: PDF Preflight identifies Acrobat compatibilities, compression, encryption, security, and other properties.
• Page: PDF Preflight detects empty pages and identifies the page size, annotations, bleed detection, and other properties.
• Font: PDF Preflight determines whether specific fonts are in the PDF file and whether they are embedded. PDF Preflight only embeds TrueType and Type 1 fonts.
• Color: PDF Preflight detects color space information, spot colors, rendering information, and color management settings.
• Image: PDF Preflight identifies the image resolution and determines whether images are skewed or flipped and whether color, grayscale, and black-and-white images are compressed.
• OPI: PDF Preflight determines whether Open Prepress Interface (OPI) is used. If it is, PDF Preflight detects the OPI version and determines whether high-resolution images in the OPI path are missing.
• Text and Line Art: PDF Preflight identifies the size of text and the line widths. It also detects white text and objects and flatness tolerance, and defines and detects the live area.
• PDF/X: PDF Preflight determines whether the PDF file conforms to PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 and whether the file contains PostScript fragments.

Report

Enables you to specify how you want the PDF Preflight report to record the preflighting results. For each preflight setting, select one of the following:

•   Information: Displays the results of the PDF Preflight operation. If the PDF Preflight Report area in the process template is set to Always create report, the operation is logged in the PDF Preflight report and labeled as Information.
•   Warning: Warns you when the PDF file does not comply with the settings that you specified in the PDF Preflight profile. The PDF file may not output correctly. If the PDF Preflight Report area in the process template is set to Always create report, the failed settings are logged in the PDF Preflight report and labeled as a Warning.
•   Error: Specifies the severity of this condition if you do not specify Fix, or if the file could not be repaired. Select this setting when you need to identify problems that must be corrected before moving the PDF file to the next stage in the workflow. The process template setting for Preflight Handling (Ignore Errors, Warn on Errors, Fail on Errors) determines how Prinergy handles Preflight error conditions.

Note: These warnings are different from the condition icons that appear in Job Manager when a file is being processed.

Fix

For settings which have a Fix option a  in the Fix column indicates that the Fix option is selected. A  in the Fix column indicates that the Fix option is not selected.
