View and resolve preflight errors
In the error list, only the categories with errors are listed. You can click the arrow next to each item to expand or collapse it.
When viewing the list of errors, note the following issues:
In some cases, a design element such as a swatch or a paragraph style is causing the problem. The design element itself is not reported as
an error. Instead, any page item to which the design element is applied appears in the error list. In such cases, make sure that you resolve
the issue in the design element.
Errors that occur in overset text, hidden conditions, or notes are not listed. Deleted text that is still available in tracked changes is also
ignored.
A master page item with a problem is not listed if the master is unapplied, or if no page it is applied to is in the current scope. If an master
page item has an error, the Preflight panel lists it only once, even though the error is repeated on every page to which the master is applied.
Errors that occur in non-printing page items, in page items on the pasteboard, or in hidden or non-printing layers appear in the error list only
if the appropriate options are specified in the Preflight Options dialog box.
If you need to output only certain pages, you can limit preflight checking to a page range. Specify a page range at the bottom of the Preflight
panel.
