Acrobat 9 Pro offers a new method for tracking the integrity of a
document. Click Embed Audit Trail at the bottom of the Results tab
to embed information about the Preflight profile and the results, and
then add an invisible digital signature that confirms the status of the
document at the time you ran the Preflight profile. Click OK in the
information dialog, and save the signed file.
•
Click Create Report to open a Save As dialog where the file is renamed
as [filename]_report.pdf. Choose PDF report options, such as how to
highlight error details, and click Save.
•
If you create the report after embedding an audit trail, the resulting
report defines the audit trail's signature as invalid. In the Signatures
pane, you'll see the extra page added for the report, as well as all the
comments identifying errors in the file (Figure 42b). By the way, notice
that the document was signed by Adobe Acrobat 9 Preflight, not using
a personal signature.
Figure 42b An audit trail's signature is invalidated if you create a
Preflight Report after embedding the signature.

To share information about a

Insert Preflight Results as
Comments to transfer the
error information from the
Results tab in the Preflight

ment box on the appropriate
area of the document and
adds a comment note to the
Comments list.
You can also generate a
report on the status of the
document. Click Report in
the Preflight dialog; a Save
As dialog opens. The file
uses the document's name
and appends _report to the
