Validate the [VDP] data

Configure the rules used to validate and preflight the [VDP] data

The [Validar VDP] operation checks if any rules are violated in the variable data document. This operation uses a number of rules specific for VDP data in combination with a number of preflight rules. The following rules, which are specific for VDP data, are always used. These rules cannot be configured:

  • [El origen de datos contiene uno o varios tipos de campo incompatibles o faltan campos obligatorios.]

  • [La carpeta de imágenes no es válida o no se puede acceder a ella.]

  • [El tipo o el formato de campo no son válidos.]

  • [El marco es demasiado pequeño para todo el texto.]

    [El marco es demasiado pequeño para la imagen.]

  • [Hay una fuente que no es válida.]

  • [El texto contiene uno o varios caracteres no imprimibles.]

In addition, a number of preflight rules can be used to validate the VDP data. You can enable or disable these rules in the [Comprobar] dialogue. When automatic preflight is enabled, the configured rules for automatic preflight are used. When automatic preflight is disabled, the configured rules for manual preflight are used.

  1. Go to the [Páginas] workflow or the [Documento] workspace.

  2. Click [Documento] - [Comprobar documento] to configure the manual preflight rules.

    Click: [Herramientas] - [Ajustes de comprobación automáticos] to configure the automatic preflight rules.

  3. You can use the following preflight rules to validate the VDP data:

    • [Regla de contenido demasiado próximo al borde]

      This rule is used to check if frames are too close to the page border.

    • [La regla de compresión de imagen es demasiado alta]

    • [La regla de resolución de imagen es demasiado alta]

      The preflight operation can fix the violations detected by this rule.

    • [La regla de resolución de imagen es demasiado baja]

    • [Regla de línea muy fina]

      This rule is used to check the line weight of the frame borders. The preflight operation can fix the violations detected by this rule.

The [Validar VDP] operation checks if any rules are violated in the variable data document. Only the selected rows of the data source are validated.

  1. Click [Datos variables] - [Validar VDP].

    A [Validar VDP] report is generated. The report shows the problems that have been found.
