By default, the [Basic] profile is applied to new and converted documents. This profile flags missing or modified links,
overset text, and missing fonts. Although you cannot edit or delete the [Basic] profile, you can create and use multiple
profiles. For example, you can switch between profiles when working on different documents, when using different
print service providers, or when running a single document through different production phases.
Consult with your prepress provider to obtain a profile or to learn what the preflight profile settings are.
