Standards Options in Preight

You can now choose to convert an existing PDF to a standards-compliant le. Choose from

PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E. Once you’ve selected the standard, you can choose the particular

specication you want.

Default Preflight Profiles

Acrobat X Pro includes more than 50 prebuilt preflight profiles, which

are designed to identify potential problems in specific workflows and, in

some cases, fix problems. Included are profiles that check for font

embedding, text using rich black, violations of total area coverage

limits, and more. Preflight Fixups give you the ability to merge spot

colors with different names, assign objects to layers, embed fonts, and

much more. You can also customize a preflight profile to match your

specific needs (see “Customizing a Preflight Profile” later in this chapter).

Profiles are listed under categories:

•Acrobat/PDF version compatibility: Checks for the version of Acrobat

required to open the le.

•Create PDF layers: Options include creating separate layers for vector,

text, and image content, or placing objects on layers based on their

transparency or overprint seings.

•Custom proles: You will only have this category if you have created

custom proles.

•Imported proles: You will have this category only if you have import-

ed proles.

•Digital printing and online publishing: Checks to see that a PDF le

meets the requirements for common black-and-white or color digital

printing conditions, or examines and optimizes a le for online use.

•PDF analysis: Includes multiple proles to check for common issues,

such as fonts that are not embedded, white objects set to overprint,

and low-resolution images, and more.

•PDF xups: Repairs common problems. Fixups can be used separately,

or aached to a preight prole, enabling you to automate some

common edits, such as converting RGB content to CMYK.

•PDF/A compliance: Checks for compliance with PDF/A-1a or PDF/A-1b

specications. Fixups to convert les to compliant les (when possible)

are also listed in this category. (e PDF/A specications are for archi-

val storage of PDF les.)

•PDF/E compliance: Includes checks for compliance with the Engineer-

ing standard, plus xups to convert a le to PDF/E if possible, or re-

move PDF/E information if necessary.

•PDF/X compliance: Checks for compliance with PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3,

PDF/X-4, PDF/X-4p, PDF/X-5g, or PDF/X-5pg specications. Fixups to

convert les (when possible) to compliant les are also available in this

category.

•Prepress: Includes proles geared toward magazine ads, sheetfed

oset, web oset, and newspaper conditions.
