5 To apply corrections during the conversion, select the Apply Corrections option. Click the question mark icon to
see a list of the fixups that are applied.

If the conversion succeeds, a green check mark appears in the Preflight dialog box. If the conversion fails, a red X
appears in the Preflight dialog box.
Verify a PDF against PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E criteria
PDF/X, PDF/A, and PDF/E files can be created in various ways, such as by using Acrobat Distiller or the File > Export
command. If you open a PDF that conforms to one of these standards, you can view the standards information in the
Navigation panel. (Choose View > Navigation Panels > Standards, and then click the Standards panel button
.) The
Standards menu and panel are available only if the PDF conforms to a standard.
The Conformance information indicates the standard used to create the file, the ISO name, and whether the file has
been verified as PDF/X-, PDF/A-, or PDF/E-compliant. The Output Intent information indicates the color settings file
associated with the file. To verify the standards conformance for the file, click Verify Conformance.
Remove PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E information
You can remove all PDF/X-, PDF/A-, or PDF/E-specific information, such as the output condition or the GTS_PDFX
version key. This action is useful if a file has been modified, if you want to start over, or if an ICC profile increases the
file size too much.
1 In the Preflight dialog box, click Profiles.
2 Expand a compliance profile and select the Remove fixup. For example, under PDF/A Compliance, select Remove
PDF/A Information.
3 Click Analyze And Fix.

About droplets and batch processing
If you routinely use the same preflight profile to inspect documents, you can use a droplet or a batch-processing
command to process files.
A droplet in Preflight is a small application that runs a Preflight inspection on one or more PDFs that you drag onto
the Droplet icon
. You can save a droplet on the desktop or to another location on your computer.
Like droplets, batch processing inspects multiple files at once, separates successful files from problem files, and creates
reports in designated locations. In addition, hot folders can convert multiple file types (JPEG, HTML, RTF, and so on)
to PDF or to PDF/X using conversion settings you specify; inspect the files using specified profiles; and output them
in any format Acrobat supports, including PDF and PostScript.
Note: If you are inspecting only files, you probably don’t need to save changes or save copies in output folders.
