6. Click Summary in the le pane to see a summary of the errors that

the prole will identify.

7. Click OK. Acrobat adds the new prole to the list.

Sharing Profiles

You can share a preflight profile with other users. For example, you can

provide your customers with a preflight profile to ensure that their files

meet your needs before they submit jobs to you. You may also choose

to share profiles among workstations in your shop.

To export a preflight profile:

1. Choose Preight from the Print Production tasks.

2. Select the prole you want to export, and then click the Options

buon at the top of the Preight dialog, then choose Export Pre-

ight Prole from the pull-down menu.

3. Specify a location for the prole, and then click Save. Acrobat cre-

ates a le with the .kfp extension. Note that the names of locked or

password-protected proles cannot be changed; they will be saved

with their original names.

Note: You can lock the prole before packaging it to ensure that your customers won’t

accidentally modify it.

To import a preflight profile:

1. Choose Preight from the Print Production tasks.

2. Click the Options buon at the top of the Preight dialog box.

3. Choose Import Preight Prole from the pull-down menu.

4. Navigate to the saved prole, and click Open. Acrobat creates the

Imported Proles category, if it doesn’t already exist, and adds the

imported prole to that category.

You can also double-click a .kfp file in the Macintosh Finder or

Windows Explorer, and Acrobat X Pro automatically imports the profile.

Note: Preight proles are very small les. You can easily e-mail them to customers. To

use preight proles, your customers must have Acrobat X Pro.

Automating the Preflight Process Using Preflight Droplets

You can use a droplet to preflight multiple PDF files at once. A preflight

droplet is a small application that examines a PDF file when you drag it

onto the droplet icon. You can create a preflight droplet that uses a

prebuilt profile or custom preflight profile that you’ve created. For

example, the Droplet can sort preflighted PDFs into “pass” and “fail”

folders. Be sure to create those two folders before making the Droplet,

so you can specify those locations as part of the process. The Droplet

dialog box refers to “success” and “error” folders, but these are just

descriptions. The actual names of the two folders are not important;

you can name them whatever you like.

To create a droplet:

1. Choose Preight from the Print Production tasks.

2. Select a prole from the list.

3. Click the Options buon at the top of the Preight dialog box, and

choose Create Preight Droplet from the Options pop-up menu.

4. If you’re using a prole dierent than what you selected in step 2 ,

choose a preight prole in the Preight: Droplet Setup dialog box.

5. Specify the target directory for each PDF le that meets the pre-

ight criteria, and a target directory for the le if Acrobat identies

errors during preight. You have other options: Acrobat can copy

the processed PDFs, rather than moving them; or it can save a

shortcut (Windows) or an alias (Mac OS), rather than the PDF, into

the target folder. You can also create reports for successful and

failed les.

6. Click Save to name the droplet and specify a location for it, such as

the desktop.
