Add and remove profiles
You can create your own custom preflight profiles. Before you create a new profile from scratch, review existing
profiles for ones that achieve results similar to those you want. If possible, duplicate an existing profile and modify only
the relevant portion.
A preflight profile must contain at least one check or fix and one property that validate the PDF content. When you
build a check from scratch, you can use existing properties or create new properties as you go. For best results when
creating and modifying profiles, add only as many checks as you need to validate the PDF content, and keep the checks
and properties simple and straightforward. For example, you can use a PDF/X profile to check for certain criteria, and
then add checks for non-PDF/X criteria, such as image resolution.
