Create Prinergy Evo PDF Preflight Profiles

Prinergy Evo uses only the preflight profiles that were created within a Prinergy system. While it is possible to import and export profiles between Prinergy systems, it is not possible to import profiles created in other workflow systems.

In Preflight Profile Manager, you can see the default preflight profiles installed with the system.

  1. Select the Prinergy Defaults profile and click Edit.
  2. Save the preflight profile with a new name so that you do not change the default profile settings.
  3. In the new preflight profile, select the Image category.
  4. Select the Resolution subcategory, and then choose the following options in the Detect area:
    1. Select Resolution of color or grayscale image is above, and type 300 dpi.
    2. From the Report menu, select Warning. 
      Prinergy Evo will now report a warning when this preflight profile is used to process any files containing images with resolution above 300 dpi.
  5. Click Compression, and then choose the following options in the Detect area: 
    1. Select Color or Grayscale Images, and then, in the list of compression types, select JPEG compressed, LZW compressed, and Not Compressed. 
    2. From the Report menu, select Warning. 
    3. Select Fix: Compress With, and then select ZIP.
      Prinergy Evo will now report a warning when this preflight profile is used to process any images that are compressed with any of the selected compression types. Prinergy Evo will compress each of those images using ZIP compression.

  6. Select the Text and Line-Art category, and then select the Text and Line-Artsubcategory.

  7. In the Detect area, choose the following options:

    1. Select Text is smaller than, and type 14 points in the box.

    2. From the Report menu, select Information.
      Prinergy Evo will now report an information message when this preflight profile is used to process any files containing text that is smaller than 14 points. This feature is most useful to warn about very small text, usually 6 points or smaller.

  8. Do not change any other default settings in the preflight profile.

  9. Save the preflight profile.

Apply the New Preflight Profile in a Refine Process Template

  1. Start Prinergy Evo process template Editor.
  2. Open the default RefinetoPDF process template.
  3. Save the process template with a new name—for example, RefinePreflight.
  4. Select and expand PDF Preflight section.
  5. Select Advanced.
    The standard preflight options will now be unavailable. This option is available only on systems that are licensed for Advanced PDF Preflight. 
  6. In the Advanced Preflight section, choose the following options:
    1. In the Preflight Profile list, select the new profile you created in the previous procedure.
    2. In the Preflight Handling section, in the Errors list, select Warn on Warnings.
    3. In the Report area, select Create One Report per Input File.
  7. In the File Delivery section of the process template, set the Processed Files Location to your desired location for completed files.
  8. Save and close the process template.

Refine an Input File Using the New Process Template

  1. Locate a sample file on a shared file server volume—for example, EvoITP_Fat.ps. 
  2. From the Process Viewer Window menu, select Template Browser. 
  3. In the Template Browser, locate the new refine process template you created in the previous procedure.
  4. Drag your input file to the new refine process template.
  5. Monitor processing in Process Viewer. Observe the information about preflight appears that appears in the Item History for this process.

Review the Preflight Report for Each Refined Page

  1. Locate your refined PDF files and, in the same location as those files, locate a PreflightReports folder created by Prinergy Evo.
    Prinergy Evo creates a preflight report for each page in the input file. 
  2. Open the first report—for example, EvoITP_Fat.p0001_rep.pdf.
  3. Review the preflight report:
    1. Use PDF bookmarks to see warnings and information related to each subcategory used in your preflight profile.
    2. Click in the preflight report to view the elements of your refined file that were affected by the preflight profile settings.
    3. To continue reviewing your preflight report, in the Kodak Preflight Locator window click Go to Report.
