Preflighting in a Certified PDF workflow

To preflight the current PDF with the Preflight Profile of your choice

  1. Choose Certified PDF > Certified PDF.
  2. In the Preflight category, click Select.
  3. Select the Preflight Profile of your choice.
    • You can select a Preflight Profile From Database, showing the same databases as in the Preflight Profile Panel.
    • If you have the Preflight Profile on your computer as a file (for example if you received it by mail), you can select From File and Browse to the file.
  4. Click OK.
    The selected Profile is displayed in the Preflight category of the Enfocus Certified PDF Panel.
  5. To start preflighting the PDF, click Preflight.
    The status of the Preflight check is indicated by a small icon:
    The PDF document has been preflighted without any errors.
    The PDF document has been preflighted with errors.
    The PDF has not yet been preflighted or the embedded preflight results are not valid anymore due to more recent edits.
    Note that this only reflects the status of the preflight, and not of the other aspects of a certified PDF workflow.
  6. To view the details, click the Show Result button.
    Depending on your preferences (General category - Setting the Processing preferences), either the Enfocus Navigator or the Preflight Report are shown.
