Preflight settings

Inspect an incoming job by applying Enfocus PitStop PDF profiles. Preflighting checks a PDF file to see if it conforms to a set of standards defined in the PitStop PDF Profile that is used.

A description of each Preflight Profile can be viewed by selecting the profile name from the Profiles menu.

If the Monotype Baseline Service has been configured, the option “Automatically check Monotype Baseline Service for missing fonts” is available in the Preflight module. If you enable the option, Fiery JobFlow automatically downloads the missing fonts from the Monotype service.

Variables in PitStop Pro can be either constant or rule-based. A constant variable might be a text string, a number, a measurement, or a yes/no or on/off value. A rule-based variable allows you to use a constant variable to determine the value change in another preflight check. For instance, if your variable definition is output type, and you have different possible values, such as digital or offset, the image resolution will change according to the value.

Note: If a job fails at the Preflight module, you can choose to override the error. The job will be displayed in the Error Jobs pane of the Jobs tab in the Fiery JobFlow window. Click Override to override the error and complete the job. The Override option is not displayed if a Move or Copy rule was defined for the module.
