Single Checks Results Standards Single Fixups Single Checks Preflight Profiles To use an existing profile, select it from the list of profiles, and choose Analyze (or, if the profile includes a Fixup, choose Analyze and fix).

To view a problem element, you can use the Show in Snap option, or you can double-click the entry in the results and Acrobat displays a colored rectangle around the element in the page. Viewing Preflight Results A red "X" indicates an aspect of the PDF that did not pass the preflight check. To highlight the offending element, select the item in the Results list and click the Show in Snap button. The element is displayed in the Snap View window. You can modify the highlight display through the Preferences options available in the Preflight panel menu. The Snap View function displays a separate window showing the object itself. You can change the background color used in the Snap View using the Background Color menu at the bottom of the window. You can navigate problem content by clicking the forward arrow at the bottom of the Snap View window. Keep clicking the forward or back navigation arrows in the Snap window to go to all of the PDF's problem objects listed in the Preflight results. Saving Preflight Results To save the results of the preflight as a report, click the Create Report button at the bottom of the Preflight dialog box. Provide a name and location for the report. 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
