Chapter 5: Working with Certified PDF documents70
Checking the Certified PDF Status
of a PDF Document
Viewing the Status
Instant PDF enables you to check the Certified PDF
status of a document and its associated Preflight
Profile.
The overall Certified PDF status of your documents is
dependent on the Preflight Profile status.
To check the status of a document:
1 Open the PDF document in Adobe Acrobat.
2 Click the Status button ( or depending
on the status of the document) on the File
toolbar.
The Enfocus Certified PDF Status dialog box appears.
Status information
The Status tab of the Enfocus Certified PDF Status
dialog box gives you the following information:
• The name, author and date of the Certified
Preflight Profile
• The status of the Certified Preflight Profile
• The status of the Certified PDF document
Certified Preflight Profile Statuses
Instant PDF determines the status of the Preflight
Profile that is embedded in the PDF document by
comparing it to the Preflight Profiles in your Pre-
flight Profile database, which are the ones which
you see listed in the Enfocus Processing - Preflight
panel.
The embedded Certified Preflight Profile can either
match one of the Preflight Profiles in the Preflight
Profiles database, or not.
The Preflight Profiles match when the following
conditions are met:
• Preflight Profiles created with earlier versions
of Enfocus PitStop Pro must have the same
settings, except for differences between Do
and Do & Log.
• Preflight Profiles created with the current
version of Enfocus PitStop Pro must have the
same settings for Problems to detect and
Report as. Different settings for fixes are not
taken into account.
The Certified Preflight Profile can have either one of
the following statuses:
• It matches a Preflight Profile in the Preflight
Profile database.
• It does not match any of the Preflight Profiles
in the Preflight Profile database. The reason
can be, for example, that there is simply no
Preflight Profile with the same name in the
Preflight Profile database or that the settings
of the Preflight Profile are different.
Certified PDF Document Statuses Explained
The status of your Certified PDF document can be
one of the following:
• Your PDF document is not a Certified PDF
document because no Preflight Profile is
attached to it.
• Your PDF document has an attached Preflight
Profile but has not been preflighted yet, or it
was changed since the time it was last
preflighted.
• Your PDF document has been preflighted but
the Preflight Report contains errors.
• Your PDF document has been successfully
preflighted.

The Preflight Profile database consists of all
the Preflight Profiles used in PDF Queues on
your system. If you also have Enfocus Status-
Check installed, any Preflight Profiles in the
StatusCheck folder are also taken into account.
