Import or export preflight profiles
Preflight profiles can be shared with other users. For example, print service providers can provide them to their
customers to ensure that jobs pass an inspection defined by those profiles before the jobs are handed off. Users in a
workgroup can create their own profiles as a way to check a document before uploading to the web or printing to a
special printer, or to check in-house production.
To exchange a profile, you package it for import and export. The package includes all checks and properties for the
selected profile.
