Limit the number of rows per error

You can keep your error lists more manageable by limiting the number of rows per error. For example, in a document

that uses TrueType fonts, a single TrueType font used throughout the document can generate hundreds of errors. If you

limited the number of rows per error to 25, only the first 25 errors appear in the list, and (25+) appears next to the error.

❖ Choose Limit Number Of Rows Per Error from the Preflight panel menu, and then choose the number.

Save error report

You can generate a text-only or PDF file that lists the errors displayed in the Preflight panel. The report also includes

other statistics such as time, document name, and profile name.

For a full inventory of the document that includes all fonts, inks, links, and other items used, create a report using the

Package feature.

1 Choose Save Report from the Preflight panel menu.

2 Specify whether you want to save the file as a PDF or text file from the Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac

OS) menu.

3 Specify the name and location of the report, and then click Save.

Preflight books

Choosing Preflight Book from the Book panel menu causes all documents (or all selected documents) to be examined

for errors. You can use the profile embedded in each document, or you can specify a profile to use. A green, red, or

question mark icon indicates the preflight status of each document. Green indicates that the document has no reported

errors. Red indicates errors. A question mark indicates an unknown status. For example, the document may be closed,

preflighting may be turned off, or the preflight profile was changed.

Set preflight options in a book

1 Choose Preflight Book from the book panel menu.

2 In the Preflight Book Options dialog box, specify whether you want the preflight options to apply to the entire book

or only to selected documents.

3 Under Preflight Profile, indicate whether you want to use the profile specified in the Use Profile menu or the

embedded profile of each document.

The profile you specify is temporarily used for each document. When you close and open any of the individual

documents, either the working profile or the embedded profile is used, depending on which option is specified in

the Preflight Options dialog box.

4 Under Include, determine which items are included in the error list.

Layers Specify whether items on all layers, visible layers, or visible and printable layers are included in preflighting.

For example, if an item is on a hidden layer, you can choose not to view errors reported on that item.

Objects On Pasteboard Select this option to report errors on objects placed on the pasteboard.

Non-Printing Objects Select this option to report errors on objects marked as non-printing in the Attributes panel.

5 Select Generate Report to generate a text or PDF file containing a list of errors. The generated report lists all errors

in the book.

6 Click Preflight.
