Question

preflight for commercial printing and low rez images

I need to do a print ready pdf from Adobe FrameMaker. FrameMaker has issues with this, but most are fixable using Acrobats preflight feature. What I can't figure out is: Where in Acrobats Preflight tools can I find information regarding low rez images? IS there an option somewhere?

B

Best regards

Bjørn

3 options:

  1.  (Essentials group at the top of the window) In the PDF Analysis section > PDF Analysis > List page objects, grouped by type...
  2. (In the Prepress Group at the top of the window) PDF Analysis > List potential problems
  3. Make your own profile

    For 1 and 2, you can create a report to have a seperate list while you fix your document.


    Doesn't Frame Maker have its own preflight? I used FrameMAker several years ago, I cannot remember.

To make your own profile, use the Options drop down on the top right and fill the details you need (new name, dpi values...)

Thanks a million! I have not put together the job originally and there a LOT of pages with a LOT of images i all sorts of color spaces and resolutions. I believe they are going to print this thing in traditional offset printing, so I shall have to find a way to fix all the errors. FrameMaker DOES have some preflighting, but the distance between what works inside FrameMaker and what actually comes OUT of FrameMaker in PDF has grown, unfortunately.
