The Report

If you have run an Action List, a Global Change or a Preflight Profile, you have the possibility to create a report (in PDF format) with information about what has or has not changed. In case of Actions of the type "Informs", you need to generate such a report in order to see the information you asked for.

Note: If you want to generate a report, choose "Always show results", when running the Action List, Global Change or Preflight Profile. See also Generating a Report.

Content of a Report

A Report usually contains the following sections:

Section	Content
Errors, Warnings & Fixes	(Potential) problems and changes. It depends on the log level of the "check" Actions in the Action List whether or not something is tagged as an Error or Warning.
General File Information	Properties of the PDF document, such as PDF version, title, author, etc. and security information.
Font Information	All fonts used in the PDF document, along with their attributes (type of font, embedded or subset, etc.).
Image Information	All images in the PDF document, along with additional information (for example physical and effective resolution, page, angle, custom color functions, etc.).
OPI Information	OPI usage in the PDF document.
Color Information	All color spaces (RGB, CMYK, etc.) used in the PDF document, with additional information where required.
Ink Information	CMYK ink coverage calculated for the whole document and for each page separately.
Layer Information	Properties of the layers that are present in the document. A clickable tree view shows the sequence of the layers.

Fixes, warnings, and errors

The results of the Action List, Global Change or Preflight Check can be found in the Preflight Report section. Errors, warnings and fixes are grouped and preceded by a number of icons:

A magnifying glass icon . Clicking this icon opens the Enfocus Navigator and allows you to browse through the list of affected objects.
An information icon (in case of a warning or error) . Clicking this icon opens a Help topic with information about the problem concerned.
A green, orange or red bullet, indicating the type of problem:
- Green for a fix
- Orange for a warning
- Red for an error

Report styles

When generating a report, you can choose the report layout style that suits your needs.

There are four "annotated" reports (first four in the table below). An annotated report is a combination of the original document and the report. The report information is integrated in the original document as a number of notes and bookmarks, allowing to easily navigate to the errors and warnings, in Acrobat Reader or in a browser, without using any Enfocus software.

The three other report styles (Regular, Minimum, Continuous) do not include a copy of the original document.

Report style	Description
Annotated Report	Report with annotations. The report is a copy of the processed PDF; checks and changes are annotated.
Low Resolution Annotated Report	Report with annotations and with low resolution images, which reduces the file size of the report.
Secured Annotated Report	Report with annotations and protected with a password. Users are not allowed to edit the report. Note: When selecting this report style, you are asked to enter a password. With this password, you can still change the security settings of the report as required.
Scaled Low Resolution Annotated Report (max A4)	Report with annotations. The entire document is scaled and has a low resolution. The size of the pages in the report will not exceed the A4 size and the images are also compressed to a smaller size. Note: This may be useful if you want to send reports for large format documents through email.
Regular	Report which does NOT include the processed PDF. It contains general file information and an overview of the fixes, failures, warnings, and errors (if any).
Minimum	Regular report with minimal information.
Continuous	Regular report, but without page breaks between the topics (information about the fixes and general file information, font information, ...) as in the Regular Report. Printed in grayscale.
