Select this option to report errors on objects placed on the pasteboard.

Limit the number of rows per error

You can keep your error lists more manageable by limiting the number of rows per error. For example, in a document that should not use
TrueType fonts, a single TrueType font used throughout the document can generate hundreds of errors. If you limited the number of rows per error
to 25, only the first 25 errors appear in the list, and (25+) appears next to the error.

Choose Limit Number Of Rows Per Error from the Preflight panel menu, and then choose the number.

Save error report

You can generate a text-only or PDF file that lists the errors displayed in the Preflight panel. The report also includes other statistics such as time,
document name, and profile name.

For a full inventory of the document that includes all fonts, inks, links, and other items used, create a report using the Package feature.

1. Choose Save Report from the Preflight panel menu.

2. Specify whether you want to save the file as a PDF or text file from the Save As Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS) menu.

3. Specify the name and location of the report, and then click Save.

Preflight books

Choosing Preflight Book from the Book panel menu causes all documents (or all selected documents) to be examined for errors. You can use the
profile embedded in each document, or you can specify a profile to use. A green, red, or question mark icon indicates the preflight status of each
document. Green indicates the document has no reported errors. Red indicates errors. A question mark indicates an unknown status. For
example, the document may be closed, preflighting may be turned off, or the preflight profile was changed.

Set preflight options in a book

1. Choose Preflight Book from the book panel menu.

2. In the Preflight Book Options dialog box, specify whether you want the preflight options to apply to the entire book or only to selected

documents.

3. Under Preflight Profile, indicate whether you want to use the profile specified in the Use Profile menu or the embedded profile of each

document.

The profile you specify is temporarily used for each document. When you close and open any of the individual documents, either the
working profile or the embedded profile is used, depending on which option is specified in the Preflight Options dialog box.

4. Under Include, determine which items are included in the error list.

Specify whether items on all layers, visible layers, or visible and printable layers are included in preflighting. For example, if an item
