Single Checks
Results Standards
5 Review the results. To view a problem element, you can use the Show in Snap option, or you
can double-click the entry in the results and Acrobat displays a colored rectangle around the
element in the page.
You can modify the highlight display through the Preferences options available in the Preflight
panel menu.
The Snap View function displays a separate window showing the object itself. You can change the
background color used in the Snap View using the Background Color menu at the bottom of the
window. You can navigate problem content by clicking the forward arrow at the bottom of the
Snap View window. Keep clicking the forward or back navigation arrows in the Snap window to
go to all of the PDF's problem objects listed in the Preflight results.
Saving Preflight Results
To save the results of the preflight as a report, click the Create Report button at the bottom of the
Preflight dialog box. Provide a name and location for the report. A report PDF lists the problems
found, as well as highlighting the problems on a thumbnail of the document. You can easily
view the highlighted areas in Acrobat by opening the Layers panel (View > Navigation Panels >
Layers) and selecting the layers you'd like to display. If you prefer, Acrobat can generate an XML-
or text-based report rather than a PDF.
Embedding an Audit Trail
The ability to embed an audit trail in a PDF is based on the Ghent Working Group Standard for
preflight tracking. You must run a full preflight profile (not a single check or fixup) in order to
embed an audit trail. To embed a description of the preflight profile used, as well as a digital sig-
nature, choose Embed Audit Trail from the Preflight panel. This provides a method for checking
the document at later stages of the workflow, to ensure that nothing has been altered since the
preflight was performed.
Single Fixups

To use an existing profile, select it from
