Preflighting mechanism

How exactly does preflighting work in Enfocus PitStop Server? The typical stages in a preflight check are the following:


  1. Create, edit or import a Preflight Profile via the Action List And Preflight Profile Panel. You can import Preflight Profiles in your Hot Folder "From database" or "From File".
  2. Place PDF documents in the input folder to have them checked and fixed automatically.
  3. Enfocus PitStop Server checks the PDF documents and depending on your preflight profile fixes problems, if any. It generates a preflight report and saves the report in a log folder.
  4. If necessary, re-check the PDF document until it is output-ready and can be taken to the final output stage, e.g., for print, press or online viewing.
