About additional checks and properties
The Preflight tool includes a collection of additional checks (called rules in previous versions of Acrobat) that you can
add to a profile. These checks are available from the Custom Checks section of each profile. You can modify these
checks in a variety of ways, depending on the PDF property they describe. You can also create single checks that can be
quickly run without being part of a profile. If single checks are run, all flagged content appears in the results as errors.
Some properties are defined by a simple statement that is either true or false for a given object in a PDF—for example,
“Font is not embedded” or “Color managed color used.” Some property statements specify relationships between the
actual value of a property (for example, text size or spot color name) and the value you enter in the dialog box (for
example, “12” or “Deep blue”). Other statements compare numerical values.
