Modifying preflight profiles
Acrobat includes several predefined preflight profiles, which you can use as is or modify
to create custom profiles. You can modify a profile that nearly meets your needs by
adding one or more rules that analyze the document using different criteria. For example,
an existing rule might detect all text that is not plain black--that is, text that uses black
plus some amount of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Because this could be a problem when
printing small text, you could modify the rule so that it flags text objects that use more
than one color and have a text size equal to or below 12 points.
You can reuse a rule in any profile where it's needed. Keep in mind, however, that if you
modify a rule that's being used in multiple profiles, the rule is modified in every profile
that uses it. To avoid making unnecessary modifications, rename the rule for a particular
profile. Before you can edit a preflight profile, it must be unlocked. (See
to preflight profiles.)
Note: Some profiles, such as PDF/X profiles, cannot be modified. These profiles have the
