A profile summary is a PDF file.
Additional checks
About additional checks and properties
The Preflight tool includes a collection of additional checks (called rules in previous versions of Acrobat) that you can
add to a profile. These checks are available from the Custom Checks section of each profile. You can modify these
checks in a variety of ways, depending on the PDF property they describe. You can also create single checks that can
be quickly run without being part of a profile. If single checks are run, all flagged content appears in the results as
errors.
Some properties are defined by a simple statement that is either true or false for a given object in a PDF—for example,
“Font is not embedded” or “Color managed color used.” Some property statements specify relationships between the
actual value of a property (for example, text size or spot color name) and the value you enter in the dialog box (for
example, “12” or “Deep blue”). Other statements compare numerical values.
Property groups
The properties for defining a check are grouped in categories. You can view a list of all property groups in the Edit
Check dialog box. In addition, you can view the individual properties that make up each group, as well as an
explanation of how the Preflight tool uses the properties.
The following property groups are available:
Text Includes information about how text is rendered, whether it is scaled anamorphically or slanted, or whether it
can be mapped to Unicode and thus copied or exported correctly.
