Enfocus Instant PDF User Guide 71
Viewing the Preflight Report of a
Certified PDF Document
Text Version
All Certified PDF documents contain information
about the last time the document was preflighted.
This information is stored as a text-only version of
the Preflight Report, listing all the Error, Warning
and Fixed messages that were generated during the
preflight.
This allows you to check the contents of a docu-
ment after it was created and preflighted, without
having to run the Preflight Profile again.
Viewing the Preflight Report
To view the text version of the Preflight Report for
a Certified PDF document:
1 Open the Certified 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.
3 Click the Preflight Report tab.

Viewing the Edit Log File
All Edits Are Logged
The Certified PDF mechanism in Instant PDF keeps a
record of every editing session of a Certified PDF
document. Thus, all the changes made to the PDF
document are logged chronologically in the PDF
document.
Logging Methods
The changes can be logged in two different ways,
depending on the tool they were made with:
• If you edit your PDF document with any of the
Enfocus Certified PDF compliant plug-ins,
such as Enfocus PitStop Pro, the changes are
immediately saved in the Edit Log. The Edit
Log will contain a detailed entry for each of
the changes.
• If you edit your PDF document with
non-compliant third-party PDF editing tools,
Instant PDF will intercept and log them.
However, the Edit Log file will contain no
details on the changes nor on the product
with which the changes were made.
Viewing the Edit Log
To view the Edit Log for a Certified PDF 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.
3 Click the Edit Log tab.
The Edit Log appears, displaying a list of the edits
that were performed in the document.
When you create a PDF document using
Instant PDF, you have access to the PDF
version of the Preflight Report, which contains
far more information and links to the Preflight
Report Help. It is recommended to use this
version if you have the ability to view the
report as a PDF document.
You can use the text version if you only have
StatusCheck installed.
