Use the Preflight module to 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. You can select from the standard Preflight Profiles, or can apply Variable Sets created in Enfocus PitStop Pro to Smart Preflight Profiles.

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.
