Output
The output produced by this task is dependent on the options selected, it can be PDF, a Windows EMF print job, a PostScript
print job or a JPGfile. Note that Preflight doesn't actually produce printable or viewable output. The Preflight option does a cur-
sory verification of the job and will generate an XMLfile that contains a list of all warnings and errors, including on which rec-
ord and layout the warning or error occurred, and a description.
