The preflight operation checks if any rules are violated in the PDF file(s). The set of rules is fixed. Some of the rules can be configured in the [Configuration].
If enabled, the automatic preflight operation is applied when a customer submits an order. The automatic preflight operation allows you to fix the violations according to the configured rules or cancel the operation with that document.
A preflight report and an annotated file are generated. The preflight report shows a summary of the problems that have been found. The annotated file shows the complete document with the location of any found problems and fixes. The manual preflight operation automatically fixes the violations according to the configured rules. 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 for the files of the job is also available for the customer in the web shop.
The merged document is the PDF file in the top of section [Files]. The files of the merged document are indented.
