7.4 Creating a Preflight Profile
Predefined Preflight Profiles and Preflight Profile templates
Enfocus PitStop Server comes with a number of predefined Preflight Profiles and Preflight Profile
templates, including a template for an empty Preflight Profile. A Preflight Profile template is
essentially the same as a Preflight Profile. The only difference is that you see a list of Preflight
Profile templates, not Preflight Profiles, when you click Action > New in the Action List and Preflight
Profile Control Panel to create a new Preflight Profile.
This gives you the following options to create a Preflight Profile:
You can use the empty Preflight Profile template to create a Preflight Profile from scratch,
empty meaning that no check or fix has been specified yet.
You can create a new Preflight Profile based on one of the predefined Preflight Profile templates
and change the settings of your choice.
You can edit a predefined Preflight Profile.
You can create a copy of an existing Preflight Profile and edit it.

Editing a Preflight Profile or creating a new Preflight Profile
Creating a new Preflight Profileor editing one are basically the same tasks. Even if you wish to
create a new Preflight Profile from scratch, you will always have a number of predefined Preflight
Profile templates available which came with the installation of Enfocus PitStop Server. These
Preflight Profile templates cover the most common output media. You can create a generic Preflight
Profile based on a Preflight Profile template first and fine-tune your settings of this profile later
on.
When you edit a Preflight Profile, you change some of the properties of that Preflight Profile.

1. Navigate to Window > Preflight... in the Enfocus PitStop Server to open the Enfocus Preflight
Profile Panel.
2. Click the Action button.
3. Do one of the following:
To create a new profile, click New. Select aPreflight Profile template from the list and click
OK.

Properties: Name, Author, Company and Description of the Preflight Profile.

password for it. You can also choose to allow fixes, sign-off and/or change log fixes, preflight
report and color management settings. See
