Editing a restriction

You can make changes to a restriction from within a Preflight Profile.

To edit a restriction

  1. In your Preflight Profile, go to SETUP > Restrictions.
  2. Select the restriction you want to edit.
  3. Double-click the restriction or click (Edit selected restriction).
    The Action List Editor appears.
  4. Configure the Action List just like any other Action List (using "Select" Actions only).
    • Only one selection per Action List is allowed (this includes Select Actions combined with an operator if they result in one selection).
    • If you need more complex selections, you must combine several Action Lists in one restriction. The Action Lists are executed one after the other, as if they were two Actions followed by an AND operator.
    Tip: Click to only see those "Select" Actions.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Select Reuse selection as required.

Remember that changes are only made to the version that is imported in the Preflight Profile. To export the changes to a local folder, click This local folder is named after the Preflight Profile concerned, for example: "Restrictions from PDFX-4".
