Comparing Profiles

Before you start, make sure you have created a Preflight Profile Compare Configuration, which contains the requirements the PDF concerned should meet (refer to Creating or editing a Preflight Profile Compare Configuration). The Preflight Profiles in the configuration will be compared to the Preflight Profile attached to the current PDF.

Note: It is not possible to compare Preflight Profiles of different versions, e.g. Profiles without restrictions to Preflight Profiles with restrictions; they will be reported as different, even if the checks are identical. Refer to Version 3 and version 4 Profiles compared.

To compare Preflight Profiles

To open the Enfocus Certified PDF Panel, click Certified PDF > Certified PDF.
Check if a Preflight Profile is selected in the Preflight category.

A Preflight Profile must be selected in order to perform a comparison. If no Preflight Profile is attached to the PDF, but you know which one has been used (e.g. because it has been provided to you by your customer), you can still add it, by clicking the Select button.
In the Certified Preflight Profile Comparison category, click Select.
Select the configuration of your choice.
Click Select.
The Preflight Profiles in the configuration are immediately compared to the Preflight Profile selected in the Preflight category. The result is mentioned below the buttons and indicated by a small icon ( or ).
