Configuring Preflight settings

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.
