Configuring Preflight settings

2 - 6 0
At minimum, preflight can validate the file and check formatting,
verify the image format (resolution, color space, and color profile),
fonts, and verify references to OPI image server images. The
preflight validation depends on the profile you select. The
administrator defines preflight profiles using Adobe Acrobat
Professional's profile repository and Xerox custom profiles. The
operator can select a profile to use as the default profile for a
specific workflow.
The Xerox FreeFlow Recommended Preflight profile, provided
with the FreeFlow Process Manager product, includes the
following checks:
• Font is not embedded
• Image resolution is less than 250 ppi
• Bitmap (1bit monochrome) image resolution is less than 600
ppi
• Document is damaged and needs repairs
• PDF contains errors or is damaged
Preflight can also be used to automatically filter and route
incoming PDF files. This is done by setting up multiple preflight
nodes as filters at key points in a workflow to check for specific
conditions. Based on the results, the file is directed to the
appropriate process or workflow branch.
