Click on text, and the font name, font type (for example, OpenType),
size, color, and overprint status are displayed. Everything under the
cursor click is described: click on black text that is overprinting a PMS
183 shape, and you’ll see information about the black text as well as the
PMS 183 shape underneath. The Object Inspector also displays
information about transparency attributes, such as opacity settings and
blending mode.
Object Inspector
Click with the crosshair cursor to view information about the selected element. e Object
Inspector window displays information about everything directly under the cursor, in
stacking order. Here, the black crosshair over the man’s shirt indicates where the user has
clicked. If you click in an empty area, the Object Inspector window will be empty.

Since Output Preview requires you to visually determine problems,
depending on what’s being shown, hidden, or highlighted, many
problems are more easily found using the Acrobat Preflight function.
Preflight tests a PDF against specified rules, and provides pass-or-fail
reports that highlight any problems found. An extensive selection of
preflight profiles ship with Acrobat X Pro, and you can use any of the
supplied profiles as a starting point to create your own custom profile.
But it’s important to note that some profiles may regard some
conditions in a PDF as warranting only a warning or informational notes,
even though those conditions are inappropriate for correct output in
your workflow. For this reason, it is often necessary for you to create
your own custom preflight profiles to ensure that you uncover pertinent
issues in PDF files.
Preflighting a PDF file is critical to ensure that it meets the requirements
of your print output workflow. Preflight tools can save you time and
trouble by applying consistent and customized tests to your files,
alerting you to make corrections before creating output.
The Preflight interface has been streamlined in Acrobat X Pro, making it
easier to find controls. Preflight profiles give you a head start finding
and fixing many common print production problems. And the
Standards pane makes it easy to create standards-compliant PDFs from
existing PDF files.
Standards
Open Preflight by clicking its entry in the Print Production task list, and
click on the Standards button at the top of the Preflight panel. To
convert the current file to a standard, choose radio button for the
appropriate standard (PDF/X, PDF/A, or PDF/E) then click Continue.
Select the specific settings for the conversion, and click Continue to
finish the conversion. For example, if you select PDF/X, you are then
presented with the choice of PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4, or PDF/X-4-p
(which references a destination profile which is not embedded, but
rather is referenced by a unique ID).
