Preight Reporting
Based on a custom preight prole, InDesign displays an error message for each violation.
e problem is described, and a possible x is proposed. You can save the preight error
report as a text le or PDF. By default, preighting is turned on, and uses a basic working
preight prole; this option gives you an alert in the status bar showing the number of
current preight problems (or a green light if there are no problems).
To create a custom preflight profile, choose Window > Output >
Preflight. The Preflight panel is displayed; choose Define Profiles from
the panel menu.
Preight Proles
Live Preight is much more
extensive in InDesign CS5. Dene
proles that t your workow and
print conditions by seing options
for each aspect of the document.
You can export and import custom
preight proles, and can even
embed a prole in a document.
Consider creating multiple
Preight proles for your most
common printing conditions so
you can load the appropriate
prole and check documents for
output workows.
