Chapter 17: Preflight
To verify that your Adobe® PDF contains only the features, fonts, and formatting that you’ve specified, use the Preflight
tool to inspect and, in certain cases, correct the document’s contents.

About preflight inspections
The Preflight tool analyzes the contents of a PDF to determine its validity for print production and a variety of other
conditions that you can specify. Preflight inspects the file against a set of user-defined values, called
preflight profiles
.
Depending on the profile, the preflight inspection can also correct certain errors. Preflight also runs checks and fixups
on visible areas or certain objects, and makes PDFs comply with various standards.
Preflight identifies issues with colors, fonts, transparency, image resolution, ink coverage, PDF version compatibility,
and more. Preflight also includes tools for examining PDF syntax or the actual PDF structure of a document.
Before you use the Preflight tool or create a PDF for print, follow these recommendations:
•
If you created PDFs using Acrobat Distiller, InDesign, or Illustrator, optimize them for print or press. Use either
the predefined settings in Distiller or InDesign PDF styles, or settings provided by your print service provider.
•
Embed all fonts from within the authoring application. Embedding ensures that fonts aren’t substituted.
