  • If not saved yet you can also open the file menu and use [Revert to last saved]

    The automatic preflight operation is applied when a document is opened, inserted or replaced.

    The automatic preflight operation allows you to fix the violations according to the configured rules or cancel the operation with that document. Some problems are detected by the preflight operation, but cannot be fixed automatically. It is recommended that you fix these problems manually before you print the job. The preflight report shows a summary of the problems that have been found/fixed.

    Rules can be configured as "Warning" or as "Error". You have to fix the violation when the rule is configured as "Error".
