Layer Fixups
Acrobat X Pro includes a group of Fixups devoted to creating and
manipulating Layers. Select the Single Fixup button for Fixups that
create different layers for text, graphics, and images; create layer names
for unnamed layers; put overprinting objects on a single layer, or put
transparent object on a single layer. Think of these layers as “view
groups” rather than layers as they exist in an Illustrator or Photoshop
file: they enable you to selectively view components of a PDF,
regardless of actually visual stacking order. For more information on
creating, viewing, and printing PDF layers, see Acrobat X Pro Help,
available under the Help menu.
Customizing a Preflight Profile
Acrobat X Pro ships with an extensive selection of preflight profiles, but
you will probably want to create some custom profiles tailored to your
needs. You can combine multiple checks within one profile; you’re not
limited to checking for just one potential issue. You can create, edit, and
delete custom profiles. You can also export profiles to share with your
workgroup or send to customers, and import profiles to add to your
preflight list by using the buttons at the bottom of the Edit Profile dialog
box.
To edit a preflight profile and save it as a custom profile for future use:
1. Choose Create New Preight Prole from the Preight panel menu.
A list of proles appears in the lehand pane, with a row of edit
buons below the list. If this is the rst new custom prole you
have created, the Custom proles category is created, and your
new prole is listed in the category as New Prole 1. You may nd
it easier to select an existing prole and click the Duplicate Prole
buon ( ). If you duplicate a prole, the new prole will be stored
under the same category as the prole you’ve duplicated.

Preight Prole Edit Buons
To create, edit, delete, import, and export proles, use the buons at the boom of the Edit
dialog box.
2. Enter a name and update the description to reect the aributes;
this will help you and your customers identify what the prole is
used for.
3. In the le column, select the aributes you want to edit, such as
Images, Fonts, or Colors.
4. Click the buon next to the problem you want to identify and enter
a value, if appropriate. For example, if you want to identify any im-
ages with a resolution lower than 300 ppi, click the Images option
under the prole name, and type 300 in the “pixels per inch” box in
the right side of the dialog box. Choose what kind of response the
prole will yield by choosing an option from the pop-up menu to
the le of the entry:
•Error: Lets you know a le has failed preight.
•Info: Reports on conditions found during preight without implying
any error. Consequently, the PDF isn’t regarded as “failing” the pre-
ight test.
•Warning: Uses a yellow alert triangle to call your aention to condi-
tions in the PDF that, while not constituting a failure of the preight
test, may be of concern in some workow situations.
•Inactive: Prevents the prole from checking the aribute.
5. Make any other changes to the prole; choose Locked to prevent
accidental changes.
