A report PDF lists the problems found, as well as highlighting the problems on a thumbnail of the document. You can easily view the highlighted areas in Acrobat by opening the Layers panel (View > Navigation Panels > Layers) and selecting the layers you'd like to display. If you prefer, Acrobat can generate an XMLor text-based report rather than a PDF. Embedding an Audit Trail The ability to embed an audit trail in a PDF is based on the Ghent Working Group Standard for preflight tracking. You must run a full preflight profile (not a single check or fixup) in order to embed an audit trail. To embed a description of the preflight profile used, as well as a digital signature, choose Embed Audit Trail from the Preflight panel. This provides a method for checking the document at later stages of the workflow, to ensure that nothing has been altered since the preflight was performed. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Printing Guide 105
