Locking a Preflight Profile with a password

You can secure your Preflight Profile, or part of it, with a password to prevent others from changing its settings. This may be convenient when the Preflight Profile is shared among multiple users. You can lock a Preflight Profile with a password when you create the Preflight Profile or you can add a password afterwards.
  1. Open the Preflight Profiles dialog.
  2. Double-click the Preflight Profile you want to lock.
  3. In the Enfocus Preflight Profile Editor, open the Setup - General section.
  4. In the Permissions section, select the appropriate permission level from the Profile is list:

    • Allow changing 'Allow fixes' (under Problem Handling)
    • Allow changing 'Allow sign-off' (under Problem Handling)
    • Allow changing 'Log fixes' (under Problem Handling), 'Preflight Report' (i.e. options under Preflight Report) and 'Color management' settings (options not under General, but under SETUP - Color Management).
    Locked Nothing can be changed. Users can only select the Preflight Profile and run it in their PDF document.
  5. If you have decided to set a password, click Set Password.
