Creating new preflight profiles

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 portions you need to.

PDF content. When you build a rule from scratch, you can use existing conditions or
create new conditions as you go.
