The current PDF document is not a Certified PDF document (yet).
The current PDF document is in a Certified PDF workflow, but was not successfully preflighted and verified. The possible causes are:-
The PDF document has been preflighted with errors.
-
The Preflight Profile doesn’t match the Preflight Profile Comparison.
-
The PDF document or the selected Preflight Profile has been changed since it was last preflighted.
-
The original document has been changed.
The current PDF document is a Certified PDF document which was successfully preflighted and verified:-
The Certified Preflight Profile matches the Preflight Profile Comparison.
-
The PDF document has been preflighted without any errors.
The status of the current PDF document is undetermined, for example because: - The document was certified but edited afterwards (so the certification may not be valid anymore).
- The PDF document was certified, but not preflighted.
- The PDF document was processed
with one or more Action Lists and a Preflight
Profile combined in one QuickRun (PitStop
Pro) or in one Hot Folder (PitStop Server).
In that case, it is not possible to certify the
document based on the Preflight Profile, because
it is not clear which checks come from the Action
List(s), and which come from the Preflight Report.Tip: We recommend embedding the Action List(s) in the Preflight Profile, so the PDF document can be preflighted with this Profile and the status can be determined. Refer to Adding Actions to the Preflight Profile.
