System information
An example of a criterion is RGB colors. If you do not want RGB colors in your PDF documents,
you can check this and have all RGB colors converted to CMYK.
Preflighting mechanism
How exactly does preflighting work in PitStop Pro ? The typical stages in a preflight check are the
following:
Figure 16: Typical preflight workflow with PitStop Pro
1. Open the PDF document which has to be checked.
2. Create a new Preflight Profile or select an existing one.
3. Have PitStop Pro check your PDF document against the Preflight Profile and automatically fix
a number of detected problems.
4. PitStop Pro generates a preflight report.
5. If necessary, interactively resolve detected problems which were not fixed automatically in the
PDF document.
6. If necessary, use Action Lists to perform a number of (advanced) automated corrections in the
PDF document.
7. Hand off the verified PDF document to your service provider.
The service provider receives an output-ready PDF document and takes it to the final output
stage, for example, for print, press or online viewing.
